 Notice that although there are 3 features in the dataset, only 2 features are loaded in. This is because the [[Geo Plugin]] has a few [[Geo Link]] which the features can match with, and 1 of the features is not matched by any of the [[Geo Link]]s. Contrary to how the [[Geo Data Wizard]]'s manual mapping options structurally defines a default [[Function]] for any unmatched features, an import with a [[Geo Plugin]] will ignore features which are not matched by any of the [[Geo Link]]s.

+==Templates with Geo Plugins==
 One of the most important benefits of [[Geo Plugin]]s is that they can be configured to automatically include data when a [[Template Project]] is used to create a new [[Project]]. While the new [[Project]] is created and the {{software}} establishes connections to external data sources, any active [[Geo Plugin]]s define additional connections which should be used to obtain more data for the [[Project]] automatically.

+===Template with a Geo Plugin for GeoShare===
 Data on the [[GeoShare]] can be automatically added to a [[Project]] at [[Project generation]] as well. To do this, the [[Geo Plugin]] requires a configuration of a related [[Project Source]], in a similar fashion as a [[WFS]]. A new [[Project Source]] definition must be created for the dataset which is currently present on the [[Geo Share]], and that [[Project Source]] can then be referenced by the [[Geo Plugin]].
