This Morning's Road Map System Documentation Overview
Query System Diagram Review
Query Front End Components
How the Front End Works
Query Front End UI File Types
Query Module File
Introduction to XML
Review Sample Query Module XML
Module XML Sample Walk ThroughThe approach is to walk through each element type of the QUERY/MODULE element and show how/where it is used.
First the element diagram and overview will be shown.Next, a screen shot will be shown (if applicable). Followed by the elements' XML code needed to produce that part of the user interface.
The XML module source file we are going through is PopMain_Example.xml (located on the desktop).Reminder: The "Q Module Elements" document contains a description of each element.
Query Front End Module XML Main Elements Review
Root Container Element named "QUERY"Basic Structure Diagram
Focusing on the "MODULE" element only.
Module's MODULE Element
Main MODULE ElementsNAME. Name of the module. This should match the filename sans the ".xml" and path. Used to keep track of module file.TITLE. Shown as the browser's page title and is also shown at the top of the page.DESCRIPTION. Optional text which is used for the HTML meta data "description" tag.KEYWORDS. Optional text which is used for the HTML meta data "keywords" tag.

IBISQ_APPLICATION_PARAMETERS Element
IBISQ_APPLICATION_PARAMETERS. Contains common IBISQ configuration and control info. Each PARAMETER element contains two elements.
NAME. Name of the parameter passed to IBISQ.VALUE. The value of the parameter.
Example of part of the URL which these specify: http://health.utah.gov/cgi-bin/hi_iq_func?form=21&sas=2&&func=1&debug=true&test=0&htmlhead=ibisq_head.xml&stdpop=2000&htmltail=ibisq_tail.xml&config=%2Fhealth%2Fwww%2Fibisq%2Fpopulation%2Fquery.cfg

MEASURE Definition ElementMeasures are an advanced topic and will not be covered in any level of detail.
The following results screen shot shows where some of this information is used.
OVERVIEW ElementThe OVERVIEW element contains the text shown at the top of the module page giving the user a basic introduction to what this module is about. Each overview contains sections. Each section can contain a title for that section and the actual paragraph of text.
OVERVIEW and SECTIONXML Snippet<OVERVIEW>
<SECTION><TITLE>Overview</TITLE><TEXT>The population data in this IBIS-Q query module were produced by the
Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, and are considered the most accurate available for Utah counties. They are the official estimates and projections used in Utah state government. They include numbers for future years (projections) based on the Utah Process Economic and Demographic (UPED) model. Numbers for past years (estimates) were produced by the Utah Population Estimates Committee (UPEC). </TEXT></SECTION><SECTION>

you are done forming your query, click "Submit" bottom of the screen (last step) to get your query result. </TEXT></SECTION>
</OVERVIEW>
DIMENSION Element DefinitionThe DIMENSION elements define the available ways the IBISQ system can group or summarize the queried data values by (examples are year, age group, gender, county, etc).
