Uploading Files

You can upload files to JMap Cloud for later use in creating data sources. The Uploaded Files tab, located in the Data Sources section, allows you to manage all uploaded files.

When you need to upload many files, such as to create a mosaic, you can do so in bulk from this interface.

The data contained in these files is stored in JMap Cloud databases. However, all files listed in the Uploaded Files tab are automatically deleted after 10 days.

Supported File Formats

Several file formats are accepted:

• Vector data (compressed .zip file): GeoJSON, SHP, File GeoDatabase, GML, TAB, CSV, DWG, GeoPackage

• Raster data (uncompressed file): GeoTIFF, ECW, JPEG2000

• Tabular data (compressed .zip file): CSV

You can select one or more files using the checkboxes, which will activate the Delete function. This allows you to delete multiple files in a single operation.

Uploading a New File

For vector spatial data, which often comprises multiple files (for example, the SHP format with secondary files SHX, SPP, etc.), you must group them into a single .zip archive. The same applies to non-spatial tabular data files, which must also be compressed (.zip). Compression is not required for raster files.

Upload methods

• Drag and drop one or more files directly into the table. The upload starts automatically.

• Or click the Upload File button to open the file browser. Select your files, and the upload will start automatically.

You can select an unlimited number of files to upload; a maximum of three files can be uploaded simultaneously. Other files will be queued and uploaded in turn.

Once the upload is started, the files appear in the table with a progress bar.

Only the person who uploaded a file can see it in the Portal.

File Status

The status of each file indicates the stage of the process that has been completed by JMap Cloud.

Waiting	Waiting to be uploaded.
Uploading	The file is being uploaded. A progress bar in the Status column indicates the upload progress. A circle in the header bar indicates the upload progress and the number of files currently being uploaded. A message confirms whether the upload was successful or if there was a failure.
Uploaded	The file has been uploaded. It must be analyzed before it can be used to create a data source.
Analyzing	The file is being analyzed by JMap Cloud, which identifies properties such as file type, CRS, attributes, etc.
Analyzed	File is ready for use.
Error	There is an error in the file loading process.

Managing a File

As with other JMap Cloud resources, you can access the available actions for a file by clicking the icon to the right of its row in the table. The available actions vary depending on the file's status:

• Create a data source

• Delete

• Cancel upload

• Display Information

Creating a Data Source from a File

When the file status is Analyzed, the Create a data source option becomes available. Click this option to launch the data source creation interface.

Enter the required information based on the data type. For more details, see the Vector/Raster Spatial Data Files and Non-Spatial Tabular Data Files sections.

Click Create to generate the data source, which will then be added to the Data Sources tab table.

Canceling an Upload

This option is available while the file is uploading or being analyzed. It allows you to stop the current process.

Displaying File Information

Click Display Information to view:

• The file name

• Its size, format, and status

• The identifier of the user who performed the upload

• The upload date and time

• Metadata, including:

  • The unique identifier of the file, organization, and task

  • Layer names

  • The list of attributes and their types

  • The number of elements or records

Deleting a File

Click Delete. A dialog box will ask you to confirm your choice.

Deleting the file does not delete the data source that may have been created from it. Only the file is removed from the table.
