Overview

Unlike iShare Logger - Classic the ol-ishare module does not require a special Logger Map Source (or Profile). In fact, for some use-cases, there may not need to be any Logger-specific configuration in iShare at all.

The Basics

Requirements

Any My Maps Map Source will do and any Layer can be used to provide Target, Context, or Map data on the map.

Target Layers

When Logger is configured to select an asset feature, the only additional requirement is that the Target data Layer must include a field with unique values.

Use of dedicated Map Sources

Despite not being required, Map Sources dedicated to Logger, whether one for for all Logger maps, or one per Logger map, can be useful. There may be a need to style features differently, to add Layers to show previously logged reports, to use layers together that are normally in different Map Sources, or just to maintain a logical division for change control.

To do this, just create a normal My Maps Map Source (see the general My Maps Configuration page).
