GIS Layers

Maptaskr provides the ability to upload GIS file and web services to allow GIS layers to be utilised withing the Maptaskr solution.

Layers are managed via the Layers panel which is accessible via the top navigation.

Corporate layers are arranged by the administrator for global access to all licensed Maptaskr users.

To add a File as a layer, click Add Corporate Layer and you see the Add Layer modal dialog.
