Create layer

MapStudio supports creating layers, it allows users to create and store features online. The layer type includes points, lines, and polygons. Compared with creating data, it is more convenient to create a layer directly,because it don’t need to go through two steps:creating data and  adding it to the layer.The data in the created layer will be saved in the structured data storage, which needs to be configured by the administrator before creating layers.

Once the structured data storage is configured successfully, the users can create layers in MapStudio by following the steps below:

1. Select "Layer" in the left sidebar to enter the layer panel, click on , and set the name, type, and attributes of the new layer in turn in the floating window. Click "Confirm" to complete the creation. Click "Data" in the left sidebar to enter the data panel after the layer being created, the data corresponding to the new layer will be displayed in the data panel.

2. The new layer will not be saved to the project by default after being created, so you need to add features first. You can select the new layer in the layer panel, and click "Edit" and in turn in the right panel to add features. Ensure the layer is visible before adding features. The procedure of creating features is the same as editing features.

If you need to remove a layer, you can click  on the target layer and select "Remove" to remove the layer from the layer panel. The data corresponding to the removed layer will remain in the data panel.
