Customization settings
The Functionality and ArcReader tabs on the Publisher Settings dialog box allow you to determine which functions will be available in ArcReader or a custom ArcReader application.
You can check or uncheck the boxes next to each function to determine whether they will be available in ArcReader. The commands are not removed from the ArcReader interface; however, they will be unavailable. The disabled functionality is listed on the ArcReader Map Properties dialog box.
- Click the Publisher menu and click Settings.
- Click the Functionality tab.
- Uncheck the commands and tools in the list that should be disabled in ArcReader, then click OK.
- When the map is opened, a message will appear stating that some functionality has been disabled. To suppress this message, uncheck the Display disabled functionality message when this map is opened in ArcReader. Although the message will not appear, ArcReader users can still see the available functionality on the ArcReader Map Properties dialog box.
- Click the Publisher menu and click Publish Map.
Embedding an ArcReader template
(Enter the related topics here, add a hyphen [-] before each topic, then tag the whole field in Related Topics format. Do not add any related topics if the topic only displays in the secondary window.)
ArcReader template settings can be used to control and enhance the ArcReader user's experience. You can use the ArcReader template settings to control the behavior of ArcReader, ArcReaderControl, and ArcReaderGlobeControl applications. By embedding the setting in the published map, you can fine-tune the experience for users of the map.
The ArcReader tab on the Publisher Settings dialog box allows you to load an existing ArcReader template file. The template settings will be written into the published map. When ArcReader opens the map, it will honor the settings stored in the published map and will not use the template file settings stored in the user's Application Data\ESRI\ArcReader\ArcReader.art file.
The embedded settings are only valid for the current ArcReader session and will not persist in the user's local ArcReader.art file. When a map with embedded settings is opened in ArcReader, any settings that can be set in ArcReader will be disabled. An ArcReader user cannot change the ArcReader settings that are defined in the published map.
The following is a table of settings that can be embedded along with descriptions and default values.
