Add default basemaps

Log in to the portal home page as administrator, click Management>Site Config>DataInsights page, select Default Basemap tab to add basemaps. You can add the default basemaps by the following three ways:

1. Add internet map as default basemap

DataInsights supports selecting the mainstream internet maps as default basemaps. You can add them by clicking the "Add Internet map" button, check the target internet map name in the pop-up dialog box, click "OK" to finish adding. Currently it supports adding: Tianditu map, Tianditu image, Tianditu terrain, OpenStreetMap, Google Map as basemaps. When adding the Tianditu map as the basemap, you need to type in your applied Key from Tianditu API website.

2. Add the map services in iPortal as default basemap

The map services created or added in iPortal can be set as basemaps for DataInsights. Input the keyword of the map name to be added, click "Retrieve", then check the checkbox of the target result, click "OK" to finish the adding action. Then the added basemap will appear in the basemap list. Currently only the SuperMap REST map service whose projection is 4326 is supported to set as the basemap.

3. Custom way: add other map services as default basemap

Click the "Custom" button, type in the target map service address, click "OK" to finish the adding action. Then the added basemap will appear in the basemap list. Currently only the SuperMap REST map service whose projection is 4326 is supported to added as the basemap.

After the above configuration, the normal users of your portal site can select one of these maps as the basemap in DataInsights.

Delete default basemaps

All the basemaps including the pre-added China Dark map can be removed. Check the chekboxes of the corresponding basemaps, click "Delete" to remove them. They can be added again.

Adjust the default basemap order

iPortal provides the ability to prioritize the display order of a basemap. When you add many basemaps in DataInsights, it's very useful for you to set the commonly used basemaps at the front for users in your portal site to have a good experience.

Specific steps: Drag the target map to the front. After finish all the adjusting actions, click "Save".
