This is only required if you are using the old Classic Layers.


For each EduBase layer you wish to display you will need to add a LAYER entry into the .MAP file.

You may copy the following Snippets into your .MAP file using the Map Editor in Studio and modify them to meet your requirements.

In Version 2 there are columns for open_date and close_date which may be useful as well as establishment_status, so you could use establishment_status = 'Open' as part of your select statement.
