Viewing and Editing Data Source Information

Viewing Data Source Information

To view a data source's (DS) information, open the contextual menu associated with the DS, then select Display Information.

The interface that opens is composed of one to four tabs, depending on the type of data in the source:

Information: present in all DS, this tab contains general information and a data preview.
Attributes: vector and non-spatial tabular DS have attributes (or fields) whose details are presented in this tab.
Relationships: this tab allows you to configure relationships between vector and non-spatial tabular DS. Relationships can be established between two vector DS, between two non-spatial tabular DS, or between a vector DS and a non-spatial tabular DS. You can see this tab if you have permission to modify the data source.
Metadata: this tab allows you to configure metadata that will be displayed in the layers of projects published via JMap NG.

If you have modification permissions on the DS, you can modify certain parameters directly from the interface:

By hovering over the Description, Tags, or Unique Identifier (for spatial DS) fields, the text box becomes active and you can modify the content.
You can also modify:
- The title of attributes
- Their indexing status
- And create, modify, or delete a value domain (for text or numeric type attributes)

Click ✓ to save or ✗ to cancel the changes.

Only indexed attributes can be used in simple searches in the JMap NG mapping application (searching for features based on attribute values).
