includeCharts

Property
includeCharts Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 PrintTemplate since 4.20, includeCharts added at 4.28.

When true, charts will be included in the printout request. Charts are stored inside an operational layer definition.

Use this property with layoutOptions.elementOverrides. The required properties are: elementName, sourceChartId, sourceLayerId.

The elementName can be found from the Get Layout Templates Info task on the GPServer. The sourceChartId can be found in the id property of the charts property of the operational layer. The sourceLayerId can be found in the id property of the operational layer. The default value of the visible property can be found from the Get Layout Templates Info task on the GPServer. This must be set to true for the printed charts to display if the default is false. Lastly, the filterType property is read from the Get Layout Templates Info task on the GPServer and does not require a value, but it can also be overwritten. Possible values are: all, visible, and selected.

Known Limitations

  • The print template must be configured to support charts.
  • This capability is only available with ArcGIS Server version 11.2 or later.
  • Currently, charts can only be printed when published as part of a FeatureLayer hosted on ArcGIS Enterprise.
Default Value:false

layoutItem

Property
layoutItem PortalItem
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 PrintTemplate since 4.20, layoutItem added at 4.25.

A custom layout hosted as a portal item. To use this property, the print service must be hosted on an ArcGIS Server that is federated with the same portal as the portal item.

Known Limitations

This capability is only available with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 or later.

Example
let item = new PortalItem({
  id: "affa021c51944b5694132b2d61fe1057"
});

// specify your own print service
const printURL = "https://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task";

const template = new PrintTemplate({
  layoutItem: item
});
const params = new PrintParameters({
  view,
  template
});

print.execute(printURL, params).then(printResult, printError);

layoutOptions

Property
layoutOptions Object

Defines the layout elements. It's an object with the following properties:

Properties
titleText String
optional

The text used for the map title if the specified layout contains a title text element.

authorText String
optional

The text used for the author if the specified layout contains an author text element.

copyrightText String
optional

The text used for the copyright if the specified layout contains a copyright text element.

scalebarUnit String
optional
Default Value:Miles

The unit used for the scalebar.

Possible Values:"Miles"|"Kilometers"|"Meters"|"Feet"

legendLayers LegendLayer[]
optional

An array of LegendLayer containing the ids of the layers that will be included in the legend. GraphicsLayer will not appear in the legend. If legendLayers is not specified, all layers where legendEnabled is true, except GraphicsLayer, will be present in the legend. To specify that no layers will be included in the legend, set legendLayer = [].

customTextElements Object[]
optional

An array of name-value pair objects. Use this property to update the text for custom text elements on the page layout. Values must be strings. The custom text elements must exist in the print service. All out-of-the-box print service layout templates contain a text element named date that gets populated by default with the system date-time, but can be overwritten.

elementOverrides Object
optional

An object containing optional elements from the print service that can be updated.

Example
layoutOptions: {
  titleText: "My Print",
  authorText: "Sam",
  copyrightText: "My Company",
  scalebarUnit: "Miles",
  // the following text elements must
  // exist in the print service to appear
  customTextElements: [
    {"description": "My description"},
    {"location": "My Location"},
    {"date": "11/11/2020, 11:11:20 AM"}
  ],
  elementOverrides: {
    "North Arrow": {
      "visible": true
    }
  }
}

outScale

Property
outScale Number

The optional map scale of the printed map. Only applies when scalePreserved is true. If outScale is 0, then the printed map will use the scale of the input map.

Default Value:0

report

Property
report String
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 PrintTemplate since 4.20, report added at 4.28.

The name of the report template. Also requires a value to be set for reportOptions to print. Typically, a report will be printed with a map in a multi-page pdf file, but the layout property must be set to something other than map-only for the map to be printed with the report.

There is no report_only template. To only print a report without a map, set the appropriate value for report, and either set layout to map-only, or do not set a value for layout. A value is not required for layout since it defaults to map-only.

When publishing a print service with reports, the print service provides possible names for out-of-the-box report templates. Possible values can be found from: the report template parameter at the Export Web Map task on the GPServer, the Get Report Templates Info task on the GPServer, or from a custom report template hosted as a portal item using reportItem. If reportItem property is set, report will be ignored.

Some possible values are listed below:

Value Description
attribute-list-letter-ansi-a-landscape "Attribute List Letter ANSI A Landscape"
attribute-list-letter-ansi-a-portrait "Attribute List Letter ANSI A Portrait"
attribute-list-with-group-letter-ansi-a-landscape "Attribute List With Group Letter ANSI A Landscape"
attribute-list-with-group-letter-ansi-a-portrait "Attribute List With Group Letter ANSI A Portrait"
page-per-feature-letter-ansi-a-landscape "Page per Feature Letter ANSI A Landscape"
page-per-feature-letter-ansi-a-portrait "Page per Feature Letter ANSI A Portrait"

Known Limitations

  • Currently, reports can only be printed in pdf format.
  • The print template and the print service must be configured to support reports.
  • This capability is only available with ArcGIS Server version 11.2 or later.

Possible Values:"attribute-list-letter-ansi-a-landscape"|"attribute-list-letter-ansi-a-portrait"|"attribute-list-with-group-letter-ansi-a-landscape"|"attribute-list-with-group-letter-ansi-a-portrait"|"page-per-feature-letter-ansi-a-landscape"|"page-per-feature-letter-ansi-a-portrait"

Example
const template = new PrintTemplate({
  layout: "A4 Landscape",
  report: "Theme Parks A4 Landscape",
  format: "pdf",
  reportOptions: {}
});

reportItem

Property
reportItem PortalItem
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 PrintTemplate since 4.20, reportItem added at 4.28.

A custom report template hosted as a portal item for report printing. Also requires a value to be set for reportOptions to print.

To use this property, the print service must be hosted on an ArcGIS Server that is federated with the same portal as the portal item. If this property is set, it will take precedence over the report property.

Typically, a report will be printed with a map in a multi-page pdf file, but the layout property must be set to something other than map-only for the map to be printed with the report. To only print a report without a map, set the appropriate value for reportItem, and either set layout to map-only, or do not set a value for layout. A value is not required for layout since it defaults to map-only.

Known Limitations

  • Currently, reports can only be printed in pdf format.
  • The print template and the print service must be configured to support reports.
  • This capability is only available with ArcGIS Enterprise version 11.2 or later.
Example
const template = new PrintTemplate({
  layout: "map-only",
  format: "pdf",
  reportItem: {id: "9a7aefd5bcd24bf7891264e0c5ecgbb8"},
  reportOptions: {}
});

reportOptions

Property
reportOptions Object
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.28 PrintTemplate since 4.20, reportOptions added at 4.28.

This object links the various report elements to their data source. To be used with a valid report or reportItem value.

This property requires the developer to know the names and values of the report elements and their data sources, as well as how they are organized in the report template.

Known Limitations

  • Currently, reports can only be printed in pdf format.
  • The print template and the print service must be configured to support reports.
