    HOWTO: Add a background layer

    AWLRS can be configured to use public Open Street Map (OSM), WMS or ArcGISRest tile services to be used as background layers.


    These layers are configured through “[AWLRS Web Api]\Scripts\configs\MapBaselayers.json” file on the application server, for example

    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AWLRSWebAPI\scripts\configs\MapBaselayers.json

    This is an excerpt from this file:

    Each entry in the file has following properties:

    • Name: The Name to be displayed in the map legend.
    • Type: Should be one of the following
      • “OSM” – OSM tile server.
      • “WMS” – OGC compliant WMS server.
      • “ArcGISRest” – ArcGIS Tile server.
    • Url: The URL of the service, this may be an array of URLs in the case of a tile server. The service will be called from within the client browser so the URL should be publicly accessible.
    • Parameters: This property only applies to WMS services and allows the following parameters to be added to the WMS request issued by the client browser:
      • “LAYERS” – A list of layers to be included in the image returned by the service.
      • “BGCOLOR” – The background color to be used by the service when rendering the requested image.
      •  “FORMAT” – The format of the image returned, generally this should be “image/png” unless the service does not support this format.
    • Options: “Attribution” Any acknowledgment or Copyright message that the service provider requires to be displayed in the map.
    • IsActive:
      • true – the layer is displayed in the map legend
      • false – the layer is not displayed in the map legend
    • IsShown:
      • true – the layer is displayed at startup
      • false – the layer is not displayed at startup
    • MinimumScale: integer value, the minimum scale at which the base layer is enabled.
    • MaximumScale: integer value, the maximum scale to which the base layer is enabled. Should be set to 0 if there is no restriction in maximum scale.
    • Projection: The projection to be requested from the Tile\WMS server. The projection should be defined in EPSG notation i.e. EPSG: {epsg_code}. For example EPSG:3857

    NB. If AWLRS is deployed to several load balanced servers the contents of this file must be consistent across ALL of them.
