View Layers
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
**1. Navigate to your GeoServer instance and click on Layers**
|
|
|
|
**2. Your layers should now appear as below:**
|
|
|
|
.. image:: _static/geocat-15.png
|
|
|
|
.. image:: _static/spacer.png
|
|
|
|
.. Note:: When publishing layers to GeoServer using GeoCat Bridge, a new workspace is created using the name of qgs project file. As you can see above, workspace 'geosuite' was created and our layers were published to this workspace.
|
|
|
|
Styles
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
One of the best features of GeoCat Bridge is that it published Styles along with the layers.
|
|
|
|
As we can see below, our Parks is using the style we selected in QGIS
|
|
|
|
.. image:: _static/geocat-styles-2.png
|

|
.. image:: _static/spacer.png
|
|
|
|
The Styles can be viewed and edited in the Style menu:

|
Publish Styles Only
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
If we wish to, we can publish only the styles. We'll cover this in the next section
