To begin creating a new spatial data source, go to the Spatial data section and click on Create. Certain parameters are common to all data sources, while others are specific to each type of data source.
Note that custom data source types may also exist. These are new types of data sources that are developed for special purposes using the JMap SDK.
The next configuration steps will depend on the data source type you selected. For more information on configuring a specific type of spatial data source, refer to the appropriate section in this manual.
The projection of the data source must be selected to match the projection of the data. If this parameter is not set correctly, the data displayed may be invalid.
At the last stage of creating a spatial data source, the Start update automatically option allows you to initiate the update when you click on Finish.
If you do not select this option, you will have to launch the update manually from the spatial data section in order for your changes to be taken into account.
