To create a new style template, press Create.
The rest of the configuration depends on the selected element type and is identical to normal style configuration. See Style for more information.
Press Finish to complete the creation of the style template.
Style templates are predefined styles that can be reused across many projects and layers. They help save time because a style can be configured once but used at many places. Style templates also help create standardized maps.
Once a style template is configured, it can be used in every place a style is needed (layer styles, selection styles, thematics, etc.).
A style template can be used as a reference or as a copy. When used as a reference, if the style template is modified, all layers that refer to it will also use the modified style. When used as a copy, the style is detached from the style template and can be modified independently thereafter.
Style templates are associated with only one type of map element (point, line, polygon, etc.) and cannot be used for other types of elements.
The Style Templates section in Resources displays a table that shows the templates configured in the server. In this section you can a new template, access the configuration interface of a template by clicking on its name, and the templates you select in the table.

In the Style Templates section, select the templates and press Duplicate. A copy of each selected template is produced and you can edit it later.

This section has two tabs: Permissions and Owners. The owners are the only ones who can manage the administrative permissions for the style template, manage the list of owners and delete it.
A list of users and groups with permissions appears in the Permissions tab. Click on to add new users or groups.
Available users and groups are configured in the JMap Server section of JMap Admin. Refer to the Users and Groups section for more information about managing users in JMap Server.
