# Importing Data From WMS

The second step in importing raster data from servers that comply with the WMS standard involves selecting the data sets to import.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="223"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>URL(GetCapabilities)</td><td>You must indicate the GetCapabilities URL that will return the WMS server capabilities. <br>The URL must be similar to the following example:<br><a href="http://www.server.com/wms?SERVICE=WMS&#x26;VERSION=1.3.0&#x26;REQUEST=GetCapabilities">http://www.server.com/wms?SERVICE=WMS&#x26;VERSION=1.3.0&#x26;REQUEST=GetCapabilities</a></td></tr><tr><td>Get Layers</td><td>This button allows you to obtain the list of raster data sets contained in the server.<br> On the left, the data sets are organized hierarchically. <br>When a data set is clicked, its details are displayed on the right.</td></tr><tr><td>Layer style</td><td>For certain data sets, a style can be selected from a drop-down menu.</td></tr><tr><td>Add / Remove</td><td>These buttons allow you to add or remove data from the selection.</td></tr><tr><td>Background color</td><td>A background color can be selected and will be displayed where there is no data.</td></tr><tr><td>Transparency</td><td>The background color can be made transparent.</td></tr><tr><td>Output format</td><td>This drop-down menu allows you to choose the layer output format. <br>This is always an image whose format can be selected among the options offered by the WMS server.</td></tr></tbody></table>

The third step allows you to configure the parameters of the layer that will be generated when connecting to the WMS server.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="228"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Projection</td><td>Drop-down menu allowing you to select the data projection. <br>The available projections are determined by the WMS server. <br>The projection of the data must be the same as that of the project because JMap does not perform the reprojection of the data in raster format.</td></tr><tr><td>Layer name</td><td>Data will be imported into a layer whose name must be specified. <br>By default, the name is derived from the names of the data sets to import.</td></tr><tr><td>Import other data</td><td>It is possible to indicate that other data sets will be imported; this automatically brings you back to the first step.</td></tr></tbody></table>
