1.4. Using Contexts

1.4.1. Save the Current Context

Saving the context means: serialize the current GeoViewer context into an XML file and download it to your hard disk for future re-use. You can achieve that by using the SaveContext widget designated by this icon: . You will then need to locally save the context XML file using the standard browser SaveAs dialog.

1.4.2. Load a Context

Loading a context means: replace the GeoViewer current context by a new one that will be reconstructed from a local XML file saved on your hard disk.

Since the new context will override the existing one, please ensure you first saved the current context before loading a new one.

To load a local context into the GeoViewer, please click on this icon. Click the Load button and locate the XML file you want to load, as shown by the following screenshot:

1.4.3. Exchange Contexts by Mail

Using the SendContextByMail widget, you can email an XML context file to another user who will then be able to upload it in any IONIC client.

To send the current context, please click this icon then fill up the following form (recipients, subject and body) and click the Send button.

Recipients will receive a mail with two attachments: the context XML file and an image preview of the resulting map.

Make sure your system administrator configured the widget mail attributes before using it.
