A Geo Link can be configured better when it is directly based on the type of features that it is expected to be matched upon. This how-to describes how to provide feature information for the configuration of a Geo Link's matching and mapping attributes.
How to Preparing a set of features for the attribute selection of a Geo link.:
- Select the Geo Plugin that the Geo Link is part of.
- When configuring it based on an offline file, uncheck the "Use for New Projects" option.
- Click on the Select hyperlink next to Configuration geometries. A new panel opens.
- Click on the link in the lower left to select features from a file.
- Follow the wizard to obtain the features. Once completed, return to the Geo Plugin general tab.
- Notice Configuration geometries now indicates how many geometries are available to inspect to use in the configuration.
- Switch to the GeoLinks tab of the Geo Plugin detail panel.
- Select the Geo Link that you want to configure.
- Switch to the "Matching Attributes" tab.
- Click on the Select button below Attributes. A new panel with a selection box opens. Select an available attribute.
- Next, click on the select button below Values and select the layer name that requires a match.
Notes
- When a Geo Plugin uses a WFS source, attributes can also be obtained directly from the service without querying the features.
