Publish

The Publish option will generate all the files necessary to deploy the map on a Web server, including the viewer configuration file, themes, print layout and data. You can also publish each of these individually by using the drop-down menu.

During the publishing process, a virtual server is created to allow you to view the results locally in your default Web browser. The URL to view the map will have the following format: http://localhost:XXXXX/index.html. You can reopen this local map using the Open HTML option.

Several settings may be required when publishing:

• Configuring the Windows Firewall is required when publishing for the first time. This is required to create a virtual server on the computer and allow you to preview published maps locally.

• The map identifier must be set to create an output folder for the published map.

• The font used in the map may have to be converted to the appropriate Web format. If this is the case, a MS-DOS window may be visible for a couple of seconds. No action is required.
