Application Link-out

Spectrum Spatial Analyst allows you to open query results in supported external applications. It is called Application Link-out. The Spectrum Spatial Analyst is configured to pass a bind column of the current selection set in XML format to the external application. For example, a value of central_asset_idcolumn of selected record can be passed to Confirm application. When Confirm application is opened, record corresponding to selected central_asset_id will be displayed.

The supported external application can synchronize its own selection set based on the selection description to provide a seamless work-flow between applications.
