Macro Group

Overview

Once you have updated the project title (to define a unique WebGIS service ID), and uploaded your SpatiaLite database to the correct folder in the File Manager, you’re ready to publish your QGIS project as a WebGIS service in G3W-SUITE.

Publishing a QGIS project is done through the Dashboard, which provides access to:

• Your assigned Cartographic- and Macro Cartographic Groups
• Additional module menus for managing services and settings

To publish a project, you’ll need to:

1. Create a Cartographic Macro Group

2. Create a Cartographic Group

3. Complete a series of project form fields
