*.refx and *.refx2 files

REFX

Refx files are XML-based and allow you to define externally aggregated areas. This can be useful if aggregates that change frequently are defined in another system.

When a Refx-base map is inserted into easymap, the layers offer the same settings and possibilities as layers inserted on LTG-based base maps.

Note: An alternative to Refx files are territory organizations that are remotely controlled by linked data. Here, the successor format Refx2 can be used to reuse such aggregate maps.

For the display of the workbook in the easymap explorer: Layers based on Refx-base maps cannot be used in the easymap explorer can be displayed. Read more about this in the section Display differences between easymap and easymap explorer.

REFX2 (Own structures)

allows you to create your own structures as a digital map and have them available for further analysis and individual maps.

To do this, in the Territory organization structure menu execute the Export... command (or directly as a context menu item for the corresponding level in the territory organization control window). The territory organization is created for you as a file (*.refx2).

In addition to the possibility of continuing to use the structure as a digital map independent of the data, you can also re-import it. After the import, the imported structure can be changed and exported again.

If the structure should not be changed, you can drag it onto the sheet in control window Base Maps like a "normal" base map (by Drag&Drop) and fill it with data.

For the display of the workbook in the easymap explorer: Layers based on Refx2-base maps can be not in easymap explorer are represented. Read more in the section Discrepancies between easymap and easymap explorer.
