Organizing Data into Projects

Once the data is connected, the next step is to organize it into projects, which can then be published to end users through mapping applications.

A project consists of an ordered list of map layers and non-spatial tabular data. JMap Cloud mapping applications open these projects to display their content. You can create as many projects as needed to meet your requirements.

Each layer in a project is linked to a spatial data source, which provides the data for the layer. It is possible to:

• reuse the same data source across multiple projects, each with different styles or filters,

• or use the same data source multiple times within a single project to show different filtered views of the same dataset.

This flexibility enables a customized and targeted presentation of your data while optimizing reuse.

Projects are secure resources: permissions can be assigned to control user access. This allows for precise management of who can view or interact with each project.

The Projects section of JMap Cloud Portal allows you to create and manage your projects. Projects can also be created directly from the Dashboard.

The following sections describe the steps to create a new project and how to manage the projects you have access to.
