Using an existing SLD

You may have an existing SLD that you wish to use to style your OGC Layer in iShare. If you wish to use this in iShare then you will need to do the following:

• Open the SLD in a text editor, such as Notepad++.
• In Studio, select the OGC Layer to which you wish to apply the SLD and click Modify Style.
• Select the Advanced tab.
• From your original SLD only extract the information for the Rule i.e. <Rule> ... </Rule> (see the above example SLD for details) as iShare does not need the rest of the information.
• Select the existing Rule in the SLD Style Editor and replace with the Rule you have extracted from your SLD.
• Click OK to return to the Layer
• Save your changes.
