Attribute Query Forms

In JMap, forms are used for attribute queries to enter the search parameters, to enter attribute values of editable layers and to manage data stored in databases. This is always done in relation with the elements of a layer.

The JMap administrator designs the forms using the form designer. Afterwards, users can use them in JMap Pro, JMap Web, JMap NG and JMap Survey.

Like data editing forms, attribute query forms are created using the form designer. They allow the users to enter query parameters. Each form component is therefore associated with a parameter of the query ($param1, ​$param2, etc.).

Unlike the other types of forms, they cannot be divided into sections. In addition, the Photo components are not available for this type of form.

These forms are created when configuring attribute queries, by clicking on Form layout.

When creating an attribute query form, it is important to consider which parameters are required and which are optional in the query definition. For instance, if Required is not selected for a form component, the query must consider this parameter as optional. Refer to the Creating attribute queries section for more information on optional parameters in queries.
