Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
Dear user, welcome to Gisquick documentation! Gisquick (http://gisquick.org) is an open-source geospatial dataplatform for publishing geospatial data in terms of rapid sharing QGIS projects. Explore more to see how easy yetpowerful is working in Gisquick.
There are a few topics you might be interested in. Firstly, if you are about to publish your QGIS project online,see chapter 1. Creating an account to 4. Releasing project. Please notice that there are two alternative approachesof publishing so the choice must be made which one to follow (chapter 2. Traditional publishing or 3. Experimen-tal publishing). Together with every released project, web map service (WMS) is created and can be subsequentlymodified.
If you wonder what does the output look like or which features are involved, check chapter 5. User interface.Browse chapter 6. Sample datasets for metadata of example datasets which were used for documentation. If youplan to operate Gisquick publication server on your own hardware, see chapter 7. Other.
Note: This documentation is dedicated to Gisquick version 2. For older documentation visit https://gisquick.rtfd.io/en/release-1_x/.

Note: Gisquick has been originally developed for GIS.lab system with an aim to produce generally usable web clientinterface. Later it was separated into a new independent project usable with or without GIS.lab infrastructure.
Summarized chapters and subchapters as they appear in the left side menu.
7.1 Creating account
First of all, a new user account must be created on a publication server (for example on Gisquick demo publicationserver as it is described below). This can be done easily by filling the registration form available at https://projects.gisquick.org/accounts/signup/.

7.2 Traditional publishing
7.2.1 Preparing project
This section explains the process of publishing QGIS map project. It is assumed that QGIS Desktop is installed on theuser device and so is the Gisquick plugin in QGIS. This can be done in Manage and install plugins insidethe Plugins tab. Type the plugin name into the search bar and install it.
QGIS project dedicated for publishing is prepared in the standard way. Map layers can be combined from variousdata sources like flat files (Esri Shapefile, OGC GML), file-based databases (OGC GeoPackage, SQLite, SpatiaLite),server-client databases (PostGIS) or OGC Web Services (WMS, WFS, WCS).
Before publishing project using Gisquick plugin, the project must be saved in QGS format (QGZ format is currentlynot supported by the plugin).
Important: When using flat files or file-based databases as data stores it is strictly recommended to save all thefiles (data and QGIS project) in the same directory. QGIS project must be set up to use relative paths (see ProjectProperties).
When using any kind of authentication (databases, web services) it must be ensured that the server used for publishingwill have access rights to such data sources.
Publishing QGIS project will be demonstrated on the Prague sample project downloadable as a zip file. At first, sampleprague.qgs QGIS project is open in QGIS Desktop. Before doing any changes the project will be published as itis.
The publication process is started by Gisquick QGIS plugin . The plugin is designed as a wizard to simplify thepublishing process as much as possible.
The first page of the wizard allows defining basic settings for publishing:
• base layers,
7.2. Traditional publishing 19
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
• overlay layers and
• basic project metadata.
By base layers are meant typically WMS layers provided by QGIS project. The Base layer sub-page also allowsadding base layers provided by external services like OpenStreetMap, MapBox or Bing.
Important: External base layers are available only when QGIS project is using WGS84 Pseudo Mercatorprojection (EPSG:3857).
Here also default base layer can be defined, see figure below.
In the second Layers sub-page is controlled, simply by checkboxes, which map layers will be published. It’s alsopossible to publish layer as hidden (ie. not shown in Overlay layers tab, see User interface section). Top leftcheckbox Use cache controls usage of QGIS Server map cache. By default, map tiles are cached by QGIS serverand re-used when possible.
20 Chapter 7. 7. Other
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
The last Project sub-page allows defining basic project metadata like title, extent, min/max scales, info message,access constraints, etc.
7.2. Traditional publishing 21
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
In the following page, topics can be defined. By topic, a group of thematically-related overlay layers is meant. Topicscan be easily switched in the Topics tab of Gisquick UI, see User interface section. Layers which should be part ofa defined topic are simply checked. Topics can be added or removed by buttons located in the bottom-left part of thedialog. Each topic has defined a short description (abstract) which is shown by Gisquick UI.
22 Chapter 7. 7. Other
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
Last but one page shows a read-only configuration summary. It’s the last chance to go back by Back button andchange publication settings.
7.2. Traditional publishing 23
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
On the last page are displayed files need to be transferred to the Gisquick publication server. The result of the publi-cation process is two generated files: timestamped QGIS project (.qgs) and metafile (.meta). These files togetherwith project data (see Data sources) must be transferred to the publication server.
24 Chapter 7. 7. Other
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
When Publish button is pressed, the unique project file name with timestamp together with its metafile is created.By default, timestamped files are created in the same directory as the original QGIS project. Optionally the destinationdirectory can be changed by the Change button. In this case, data source files are also copied to the newly defineddirectory.
The published project together with data can be optionally zipped into an archive, which can be easily uploaded to thepublication server, see Create project zip file for upload option.
7.2.2 Uploading project
In the next step, the user can upload a prepared project zip file created by Gisquick plugin as described in the sectionabove. Log in to your publication server account. In the user menu, go to My profile (see User profile page fordetails). Go to Upload project, enter the project zip file and upload the file using the Upload button.
After successful upload, go to My Projects and find your first published project.
7.2. Traditional publishing 25
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
At this stage, it is possible to view the project in Gisquick by clicking the blue icon in the second column. However, itis recommended to finish the setup following the chapter Releasing project.
7.3 Experimental publishing
7.3.1 Preparing project
Another so-called ‘experimental’ option how to publish project is described in this part. Firstly, click on Publishbutton which is situated next to the Upload button in the user’s project page. It allows publishing a project directlyfrom QGIS. In order to use this alternative, the QGIS plugin needs to be installed and connected. The required pluginis available to download for 64-bit OS (Windows, Linux, Darwin).
26 Chapter 7. 7. Other
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
Once the download is complete, open QGIS and find tab Plugins and choose Manage and installplugins. Continue to the Install from zip tab, set path to the downloaded zip file and hit the install but-ton.
When the installation is finished, it is possible to check new acquisition in the list of installed plugins. Also, a new
7.3. Experimental publishing 27
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
icon appears in QGIS toolbar. In comparison with classic Gisquick icon, it only differs in small digit 2 in the middle.Next step is to prepare the project in QGIS.
Save the project before the next step.
Important: When using flat files or file-based databases as data stores it is highly recommended to save all thefiles (data and QGIS project) in the same directory or its subdirectory. QGIS project must be set up to use relativepaths (see Project Properties). An error warning appears otherwise (see figure below).
When using any kind of authentication (databases, web services) it must be ensured that the server used for publishingwill have access rights to such data sources.
28 Chapter 7. 7. Other
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
7.3.2 Uploading project
Once the project is ready, click on experimental Gisquick plugin logo. For the very first time, Gisquick asks the userto fill in the connection and Gisquick login details.
After succesful check-in to the Gisquick server, the project is screened in user’s experimental publish window. Notice,that the Gisquick 2 icon stays active in QGIS until the user clicks on it again and interrupts the connection with theserver.
The first section called CHECK-IN consists of two tabs and represents an overview which is designed to easily checkon loaded layers. It is not possible to make any changes within these tabs. Eventual corrections could be made backin QGIS.
First tab General includes some fundamental information about user’s project, e.g. map projection, units, predefinedscales or print templates. Second tab Layers contains a list of layers with additional information.
When the project is checked and ready, proceed to the Upload section. Two windows will split the screen: localproject files are listed in the left, intended server folder appears in the right one. Click on UPLOAD FILES button.
7.3. Experimental publishing 29
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
7.4 Releasing project
This chapter follows up on chapters 2. Traditional publishing or 3. Experimental publishing and represents last stepsof project publishing. If the traditional way was followed, display user’s project page and click on the project name(blue colour). If the user went through the experimental way, the text below continues directly to chapter 4. Releasingproject.
A section called SETTINGS is displayed. There are a few options in the settings window. It is possible to load mapcanvas using the map button (1). Use the delete button (2) in case of removing the whole project. For logging out findthe top right button (3). Furthermore, it is possible to change the project title (4), set the rate of authentication (5) oredit map extent setting (6). There are few possibilities how to edit map extent (7). The first is to fill in the desiredcoordinates into the frames. The second possibility, the map extent can be edited manually by drawing a delimitingrectangle area ina map. The last option is to use the extent of one imported layer or extent of all of them. Setting mapscales is possible in the left box (8). Executed changes are reflected in map preview (9).
30 Chapter 7. 7. Other
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
Check the subsection Layers for advanced adjustment of layers. The base layer can be chosen in the left box (a blankbase map is default). Within the right box, it is possible to specify which layers will be published or hidden (or bothwhich means that the layer will be published but turned off when the project is opened).
The last subsection is dedicated to topics. Creating or removing a topic is enabled. Select a topic to see involvedfeatures which can be subsequently modified.
7.4. Releasing project 31
Gisquick Documentation, Release 2.0
In the very last step, hit the update button to save all realized changes and finish the experimental publishing process.
7.5 User interface
The Gisquick clients are designed with a goal to put together a minimal set of functions for useful generic responsiveweb and mobile-friendly mapping application.
The major part of the client’s User Interface (UI) is occupied by map canvas (1). Content management tools (2) arelocated on the left side and can be hidden using the button on its right side (3). Corners of map canvas are filled up(clockwise from the bottom-left corner) with map scale (4), tools (5), user menu (6) and zoom tools (7). The statusbar is located in the bottom part and it shows current scale, projection and map coordinates of the cursor (8).

7.6 Sample datasets
Some basic information about our data aiming to be a part of examples introduced in this documentation. This sectionpresents two sample datasets.
The first one Natural earth has been originally created by GIS.lab developers and later adopted by Gisquick project.Subsequently, the second dataset Prague was developed for specific needs of Gisquick publishing platform.
7.6.1 Natural earth
Database natural-earth.sqlite. Available online from GitHub repository or directly as a zip file.
Data source
The data are sourced from Natural Earth dataset. It is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10 million,1:50 million and 1:110 million map scales. It is free for use in any type of project. Dataset was builtthrough a collaboration of many volunteers, it is supported by NACIS - North American Cartographic InformationSociety and contains a series of vector and raster data. With Natural Earth one can make a variety of maps with allcommonly-used cartography and GIS software.
Coordinate systems
All Natural Earth data use the Geographic coordinate system WGS84 (EPSG:4326).
Format and other key features
Natural Earth Vector comes in Esri Shapefile format. Character encoding is Windows-1252. Vector features includename attributes and bounding box extent. Natural Earth Raster comes in TIFF format with a TFW world file.
Natural Earth is a very useful collection of data. Most of their attributes are equally important for map-making.They contain embedded feature names, which are ranked by relative importance. Other attributes facilitate faster mapproduction, such as width attributes assigned to river segments for creating tapers, etc.
