Using Remote Services

In GeoNode you can add new layers not only loading them from your disk but also using Remote Services. In this section you will learn how to add a new service and how to load resources in GeoNode through that.

Let’s try it!

Click on the Remote Services link of the Data menu in the navigation bar.

Bemerkung

Lots of services are available on the internet, in this example we used the https://demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/wms.

Once the service has been configured, you can load the resources you are interested in through the Import Resources page where you will be automatically redirected to. Take a look at the gif below to see the whole process.

A new Remote Service

From the page where the services are listed, it is possible to click on the Title of a service. It opens the Service Details page.
Each service has its own metadata such as the Service Type, the URL, an Abstract, some Keywords and the Contact user. You can edit those metadata through the form available from the Edit Service Metadata button of the Service Details page (see the picture below).
