Welcome!
This application can be used for configuration of the Geoide Client/Viewer. Geoide Author itself does not contain data of maps or features, but configures the Geoide client for getting the right data from the specific services. If starting from zero,you have to add (or select) a new server first. After that a new context (group of maps) can be generated. Within this new context new maps can be generated, containing one or more layers. Layers may also be clustered in a group, called grouplayers. In each map you can add a search interface (query aspects), for search, select and zoom features in the map.
By following next steps, you can add new servers, contexts, maps, layers, grouplayers and search entries.

NOTE! ONLY AFTER CLICKING ON "SAVE" (below the screen), CHANGES ARE SAVED ON THE SERVER.
