About

This section of the documentation contains all the information for admins that want to create portals with the Masterportal software.

General Structure

The Masterportal is configured by a set of JSON files. These files are divided into two categories:

Global configuration files

These files describe central information to be used by multiple portals:

• services.json: lists all available layers
• rest-services.json: URLs to various external services
• style.json: holds style definitions for vector layers

Portal-specific configuration files

These files define the distinguishing features of an instance:

• config.js: Configuration of paths to further configuration files and services
• config.json: Configuration of portal appearance and available contents

The following figure schematically demonstrates the ensemble of files. Please mind that the files index.html, config.js, and config.json must be placed in the same path.
