Sharing the Project

You can synchronize the project with JMap Cloud, the cloud based platform developed by K2 Geospatial.

Beforehand, you must connect to JMap Cloud. The JMap Server Settings section offers details on this subject.

Project properties, layers with their associated spatial data sources, order and hierarchy of layers are reproduced in JMap Cloud.

To synchronize the project with JMap Cloud:

1. In the project configuration interface, press Sync with JMap Cloud…. A window opens offering you two actions: Copy project: A copy of the project layers (configuration and data) and their spatial data sources is created in JMap Cloud. No JMap Server → JMap Cloud link is created. When a layer is updated on JMap Server, the data is not synchronized with JMap Cloud. Synchronize project: A copy of the project layers (configuration and data) and their spatial data sources is created in JMap Cloud. A JMap Server → JMap Cloud link is created. When a layer is updated on JMap Server, the data is automatically synchronized with JMap Cloud. The window offers two options for the project in JMap Cloud: Create new project: You can specify a new project name that will be used in JMap Cloud. If the project uses multiple languages, the name specified here will replace the default language value. All translations are synchronized. Replace Project: You select the JMap Cloud project that will be overwritten and replaced by the project you are copying or synchronizing.

2. Select the options that suit you and press OK. If you selected Copy, the Status indicates that the project has been copied to JMap Cloud. This icon allows you to redo the synchronization. If you selected Synchronize, the section displays the following information: Id: Identifier of the project in JMap Cloud. Status: The status of the project creation in JMap Cloud. Last update: Indicates the last time the project was synchronized. Automatic synchronization: Indicates that the synchronization is automatic. Press to remove the JMap Server → JMap Cloud link for the project. The JMap Cloud project is not deleted. Press to start synchronizing the project with JMap Cloud. Once the project is synchronized with JMap Cloud, the icon appears in the list of project layers, in the JMap Cloud column.
