Everything about how OrbGIS works — from your first sign-in to your first published dashboard. Written from the actual product, and searchable from every page.
Five short tutorials that take you from a blank browser tab to a published dashboard.
Set up your OrbGIS organization in a few minutes — no credit card, no sales call. One sign-up creates your account, your organization and your portal.
Bring colleagues into your organization by email invitation. Invites are sent from the Admin area, are valid for 7 days, and can carry a role.
The Admin area is your organization’s control room: overview statistics, members and roles, invitations, an activity log, and the settings that apply to everyone.
Drop a file into the portal and get a hosted, tiled, styleable layer — then describe it so the rest of your organization can find it.
From an empty map to a styled, saved web map: add a layer, pick a basemap and a coordinate system, style it, and save. Takes about ten minutes with your own data.
Turn a web map into a live operational view: indicators, charts and tables around the map, all bound to the same layers — click a chart and the map filters.
Build a scroll-driven story around your maps: a cover, narrative text, an embedded map, stat callouts and a guided map tour — then publish it to a public URL.
Design a form, publish it, and watch answers land in a live dataset — one column per question, with the location answer as point geometry.
Compose a print-ready sheet from a web map: a map frame at a true scale, a legend, a scale bar, a north arrow and your own text — exported as PDF, PNG or JPEG at print resolution.
Set your organization’s colors, fonts, corner radius and spacing once — then every dashboard, journey, survey and layout can inherit them, live.
Rename cryptic fields, fix types, calculate a new column and publish the result — a spreadsheet pass over a whole layer, without touching its geometry.
Install the OrbGIS Connector, sign in from QGIS, pull a hosted layer onto the canvas, and push your edits straight back to the portal.
One page per OrbGIS app — what it does, how it works, and the details that matter.
The map viewer is the heart of OrbGIS: style, filter, label and share vector layers in the browser, in the coordinate system you actually work in.
A dashboard is your web map plus the numbers around it — indicators, charts, tables and filters bound to the same layers, with crossfiltering everywhere.
Scroll-driven storytelling with maps: a full-screen cover, then text, media and interactive maps that advance as the reader scrolls.
Collect field data with a themed form that writes straight into a live feature layer — respondents only need a link, not an account.
Millimeter-precise sheets built from your web maps: true scales, legends, scale bars and north arrows, exported as PDF or images at print DPI.
Design your organization’s look once — colors, fonts, chart ramp, radius and spacing — and every dashboard, journey, layout and survey inherits it.
The home for everything your organization makes: browse, search, organize and manage all content — maps, datasets, apps and files — in one place.
The OrbGIS Connector brings your portal into QGIS: browse your layers, load them into projects, edit live, and publish new datasets back — free and open source.
The machinery underneath: data upload, editing, sharing, roles, exports and coordinate systems.
Drop a file, get a layer. Uploads run in the background through a real ingest pipeline — reprojection, indexing, tiling and automatic overviews for large datasets.
A spreadsheet for your layers: clean, calculate, restructure and publish a dataset’s complete attribute table — without touching its geometry.
Datasets are OrbGIS’s working unit: hosted feature layers and attribute tables with typed fields, relationships, statistics — and vector tiles behind every map.
Two independent switches govern who sees what: Ownership (Private or Organization) inside your org, and Publishing for the open web — apps only, with a clear exposure check.
Four fixed roles — Viewer, Editor, Publisher, Admin — decide who can create, publish and administer. No custom roles to design, nothing to misconfigure.
Get finished output out of OrbGIS: map images up to print resolution, layout PDFs, and CSV extracts of your data.
Work in the CRS your organization actually uses. SWEREF 99, ETRS89 grids and more are first-class citizens — not everything is forced through Web Mercator.
Two places in OrbGIS let you describe what you want in plain words and get a working result — filters and rich text. Always optional, always validated.
Deleting is reversible: items move to a recycle bin and stay restorable for 30 days before being permanently removed.
