Creating Groups

To further organize your project's individual map layers within a Cartographic Macro Group, you’ll use Cartographic Groups. These are subcategories inside a Macro Group that hold individual WebGIS services (i.e., your published QGIS projects). This is the final setup step before publishing your project live on the WebGIS platform.

Step 1: Access Creation Page

1. Navigate to the Administration Panel left-hand menu.

2. Click Cartographic Groups.

3. Select Add Group from the dropdown.

4. The Group Creation page will open.

Step 2: Create Group

1. On the Group Creation page, enter the following:

   
   

   Field	Input	Description
   Name	Berlin City Center	Internal identifier used by administrators
   Title	Berlin City Center	Display name shown to WebGIS users
   Macro Groups	G3W Tutorial	Select the relevant Macro Group container
   GEO Data	EPSG:4326	Coordinate Reference System (CRS) of the project
   Baselayers	OSM (OpenStreetMap)	Default background map for the WebGIS interface

   
   

2. Click the + icon in the ACL Users section to configure permissions.

3. Assign Editor, Viewer, and Group roles as needed.

4. Under Logo Image, click Choose File.

5. Upload the image_group.png file from the Tutorial_Data_G3WSUITE folder.

6. Click Save to create the group.

Need to check your project's CRS? In QGIS, go to Project → Properties → General and confirm the EPSG code.
