iShare v6.0.0 uses MapProxy to serve up the Base Mapping and allows you to connect to a WMTS (Web Map Tile Service) as well as a WMS (Web Map Service). The WMTS Tile resource represents a single cached tile. You can request WMTS tiles in both RESTful and Key-Value Pairs (KVP) syntax as defined by the OGC WMTS specification. As compared to the WMS, the main advantage of the WMTS is that it offers better performances in the publishing of cartographic data, as the tiles are stored in a cache at the time of the first generation. On the other hand, the WMTS is not recommended when the data are updated frequently, since it then means the cache has to be invalidated for the data to be brought up to date. MapProxy is a Python application which can not only cache WMS feeds, but allow us to convert between feed types, for example, WMTS to WMS and vice versa. |

Information
Name
This is the name that will be given to the sub folder for the tile cacheof the WMS or WMTS layer in the mapproxy.yaml.
From v5.2.2 - If you are using Astun Data Services - ADS mapping then entering any of the following will automatically assume that this is an ADS map layer and use the appropriate type of tile requests for the TileCache URLS (i.e. WMS and not TileCache):

Prior to V5.6.2 - do NOT include the copyright symbol "@" in your text here as it causes issues in iShare. |
Style
WMTS only
Allows the client to specify a style which is listed in the GetCapabilities for the layer, but generally should be left as default.
Type
WMTS only
Defines how iShare should request the tiles from the server, either as key-value pair (KVP) or restful. Generally should be left as KVP.
URI
This is the URI to the service to which iShare requests the BaseMap images.
The main box is used for editing your URI. Type in the box provided and click on the Green plus to Add a new entry.

Scales
WMS only
This is where you define the number of zoom scales that you require. This will define how many bars you see on the Navigation tool on the map and also how the tile cache is generated. This would normally be populated by your Astun Consultant.

If you wish to use the HiDPI Print functionality in iShare GIS and your BaseMap supports High DPI then you should tick this box. This can be deselected for those BaseMaps which have not been configured for use with High DPIs.

If the BaseMapping service doesn't support a DPI or MAP_RESOLUTION parameter, PDFs generated using it may exhibit unexpected style behaviour if this is left enabled. |
