Context

The Application Context is designed to build and configure MapStore’s viewers: the administrator is able to configure a custom MapStore viewer by choosing:

  • The name of the context (the viewer will have its own specific URL)

  • The default map configuration and map contents (like layers, backgrounds, catalogs, CRSs etc)

  • The set of plugins available for the viewer

The Admin can access the Application Contexts through the homepage by filtering them. From there the can edit existing context by clicking on the pencil over a context card or creating a new one.
