Nektar

Any datasource in Nektar can be configured for consumption in external GIS software (such as ArcGIS or QGIS), as a Web Feature Service. In the Company Settings page, under the section Mapping Settings, there is a field for Hosted WFS Layers.

Create a new WFS layer by clicking the blue “+” button, choosing a title for the WFS layer, and choosing a valid dataset to use

In the case of asset datasources, the datasource must include the “Spatial” field.&nbsp;

In the case of task datasources, the datasource must include both the “Longitude” and “Latitude” fields.&nbsp;

The title field does not require underscores to be used in place of spaces, but these will be inserted for you when the layer is created, as WFS layers cannot have spaces in the name. (“My WFS Layer”, would be changed to “My_WFS_Layer”)

The title field can begin with a number, however, the layer will be created with an underscore in front if this is done, as WFS layer names cannot begin with numbers. (“2WFS2Furious” would be changed to “_2WFS2Furious”)

Clicking Create will prompt the following warning due to the fact that WFS urls are available to the public and should be created with this in mind&nbsp;

Once created the layer will be visible with any other layers you have already created

Note the “Copy WFS Server Link” button, which copies the URL to the server hosting these created WFS layers, and in your GIS application (QGIS used for example), you can use this link to access this server and work with your WFS layers.

All of the data in the datasource will then be available to your GIS application through the WFS layer.
