Possible application questions</font>

<br>
<br><font size=3>Hello Steve</font>
<p><font size=3>Thanks for your feedback so far. It is slowly painting
a picture for me.</font>
<p><font size=3>Before we start the CRM DB, we need ot determine if a mapping
software can with with the CRM DB. You seem to say this.</font>
<p><font size=3>We do not want to start the DB in a software, only have
to export it once done, to a new DB software. The Ma[pserver part
wil be done once the DB part is done. Why, the budget is ready for
the DB part, but not yet for the mapserver part.</font>
<p><font size=3>So, a simple scenario would be:</font>
<p>
<p><font size=3>-My CRM database is populated with various data concerning
projects that we want to map out in Map server, including longitude and
latitude. This coudl include: year, budget, different project paramaters,
etc...</font>
<p><font size=3>-Mapserver is configured to be able to read the CRM DB.
There will be various fields that will be searchable by definable fields
in Mapserver.</font>
<p><font size=3>-Mapserver is able to peruse through the CRM DB and grab
the data that it needs to display on the map, according to defined choices
in our search.</font>
<p><font size=3>-Mapserver displays the files that meet the given criteria.</font>
<p><font size=3>This sound right?</font>
<p>
<p><font size=3>Those points that are displayed, are they clickable?</font>
<p><font size=3>IF so (for my project they need to be clickable, or the
people doing the search will not be able to see details on the files that
meet the criteria), how to we determine what is displayed? If it
is displayed, we will want to display additional information that what
query criteria.</font>
<p>
<p><font size=3>Last question before I sign off.</font>
<p><font size=3>Like I state, we are looking at CRM to do this system.
It seems to be much easier than building a new interface and database.
The CRM is well advanced, very flexible, modifiable and a great price that
fits our budget. By removing a few modules, it seems to suit the
project well.</font>
<p><font size=3>When we have a project in the CRM, there are hard data
typed right into the profile: name, year, budget, etc...</font>
<p><font size=3>But, we also have data that is "linked" to the
project, like: Companies and individuals. This is different
from the hard data. Hard data has a field, and whether you enter
something in the field or note, the full or empty field is displayed.
For the "linked" style, there is a heading, but if there are
no "linked" files, nothing is displayed. But, if there
are things to display, the page adjusts downward to accommodate the entries.</font>
<p><font size=3>Can we have Mapserver grab the names of these "linked"
files?</font>
<p><font size=3>Thanks!</font>
<p><font size=3>Joseph</font>

You will not export data from the database. Mapserver will be connected
to your mysql DB and render maps as a service.</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Those services can be viewed by gis softwares or web applications</font><font size=3>

Hello Steve, </font>
<p><font size=3>Thanks for the reassuring news. We have found our
possible solution. </font>
<p><font size=3>The CRM software has not yet been modified, but it will
have the two fields for the Longitude and Latitude. </font>
<p><font size=3>Other fields will be used as well, and we will have to
add more for those. </font>
<p><font size=3>When you say it has to provide wms/wfs services, what does
that mean? I found the 9nitials, but what does it mean? </font>
<p><font size=3>Is it a special format? Like I need to export the
data from the data base into a certain format? </font>
<p><font size=3>Sorry for the newbie questions, but I am learning:) </font>
<p><font size=3>Thanks </font>

hi Joseph<br>
Yes mapserver can be used for your application by providing wms/wfs services<br>
Here are some links that can help<br>

Do you have latitude/longitude data in your database, or any other georeference
that can be used to render on a map?<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I am writing to ask if MapServer will work for our application.<br>
<br>
We are working on a project that will allow us to place on a map of our
<br>
country various projects. We want to be able to filter them based
on <br>
various pieces of information, including, for example:<br>
<br>
year of project<br>
population<br>
project budget<br>
etc...<br>
<br>
We are compiling the data in a CRM(MySQL database), and want to use the
<br>
data from the CRM to feed the mapping software.<br>
<br>
1 - can I map the type fo information that I need?<br>
2 - can we use the data directly from the CRM database if we tell the <br>
mapping software what data to use(so t can be read on the fly, live from
<br>
the database?), or does it need to be exported before using in the <br>
mapping software?<br>
3 - It it needs to be in its own exported format, how to I get it from
<br>
MtSQL to the correct format?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any and all help.<br>
<br>
Joseph<br>
