General Settings

Every project has a set of parameters that must be defined in the General Settings section.

Here the user can define:

The GIS server parameters (URL, username and password)
The GIS server database parameters (server name, username, password and database name)
An optional service of “filter by polygon” - This service allows to filter out any feature that is not geographically located into a user-defined polygon
Coordinate system and units to be used when interpreting the drawing data

Export Current Configuration

It is possible to export the configuration of a project to reuse it in another project.

This consists in exporting the project’s general settings and import sets.

To export the project configuration, use the dedicated “Export Config” button available in the GPT header.

Note

Exporting a configuration does not export the project’s files.

Once the export is completed, a .json file is created in the folder “Exported Projects” in the GPT root folder.

Import Existing Configuration

It is possible to import in GPT the configuration of another project.

This consists in replicating in the destination project the general settings and the import sets of another project.

To import an existing configuration, the user must first place the .json of the project to import in the folder “Projects to Import”, available in the GPT root folder.

Then the user can use the dedicated “Import Config” button available in the GPT header and select the .json file to import.

Note

Importing a configuration does not affect the project’s files.

It is mandatory for the destination project to be empty (no existing import sets) at the time of import.
