Add an Additional WMS Layer

The following parameters are required to add a WMS as an additional layer:

Field	Is it Optional or Required?	Description
Name	Required	Name and description that will appear in the More Mapping dialog.
Add URL	Required	URL from the WMS capabilities document, this can be obtained from the GeognoSIS Manager.
Get info from capabilities	Optional (use this or Add Layer)	Selecting this button generates a dialog showing a list of the available layers from the supplied WMS URL.
Add Layer	Optional (use this or Get info from capabilities)	If you know the name of the layer you wish to add, type it in.
Copyright	Optional	Any text entered here will appear on the bottom left of your site.
Buffer	Required	Creates a buffer of tiles outside the visible map frame. This gives the user a smoother experience for panning around the map; however it creates a larger request to the server meaning the server is busier for longer and the site can be slower to load. By default this value is set to zero.
Version	Required	Automatically populated when you select a layer using Get info from capabilities, otherwise add this manually.
Is Base Layer	Optional	All layers added are assumed to be a data layers unless this tickbox is checked.
Include in Layer Tree	Optional	Allows you to switch between base layers in the Map Features dialog (If the data is being served out as a base layer and the site accessed on a mobile device).
Visible	Required	This tickbox must be checked for the data to be visible on the map and in the Map Features dialog.
Single Tile	Optional	The whole map is returned as one single tile, this reduces the number of requests made to the server however it prevents the map from appearing as a slippy map. If you pan around, the whole tile is reloaded for the new location.
Projection	Required	A predefined list of SRID numbers to define what projection the data will be drawn in. More SRID numbers can be added in the Projections table of the webMapLayersConfig.db.
Transition Effect	Required	This defines how the map transitions between zoom levels. Currently there is only one option: resize. This resamples the current tile and displays it stretched or compressed until the new tile is available.
Image_Format	Required	Sets the image format of the served out data.
Show Legend Button	Ignore	This option is present for legacy support of WebMap 7.1, if using the standard Cadcorp SIS WebMap site this parameter can be ignored.
Image Checkbox	Ignore	This option is present for legacy support of WebMap 7.1, if using the standard Cadcorp SIS WebMap site this parameter can be ignored.

Abstract	Optional	Text entered here will appear as metadata next to the layer on your Cadcorp SIS WebMap site.
Tile Width	Optional	If the single tile option is not being used, the data requests from GeognoSIS will be returned in tiles, the value here refers to the number of pixels wide that the tile of returned data will be. It is set to 256 as default.
Tile Height	Optional	If the single tile option is not being used, the data requests from GeognoSIS will be returned in tiles, the value here refers to the number of pixels high that the tile of returned data will be. It is set to 256 as default.
