Map manager

Last modified by Aurelie Bertrand on 2026/07/15 17:04

The Map Manager allows you to manage layers or map backgrounds used as a base in Map-type flows.

The term Map used here will refer to a layer or map background.

DigDash comes with a set of maps that cannot be modified (read-only).

You can add new maps.

Adding a map

To add a map:

  1. Click the New map button.
    ➡ The New map dialog box appears.
  2. Select the map background format: SVG, SHP, or JSON.
  3. Select a Role to restrict map access to, or None to share the map with all roles.
    The field can also be used as a search bar when there are many roles.
  4. Fill in the other requested fields according to the selected format, then click OK.

The generated map will be placed in the maps folder in <DD APPDATA> \enterprise server\config\web\public\.

  • For an SVG or SHP map:
  1. In the Add or drop files area, click the Add button and select the source file.
  2. Enter the Level name.
  3. Check the Vector options box if you want to simplify the final SVG.

    • Simplify document: Simplifies the final .SVG file.
      Select a simplification level from Low to High, or select Custom to set a value of your choice between 0 and 1. The closer the number is to 1, the coarser the curves will be. With 0, you will get the most accurate file but also the heaviest.
    • Curve tolerance: Provides tolerance on the shape of the created paths (Bézier curves) using the same principle as the previous option.
  4. Select a Translation file that will be used to translate the keys generated in the final SVG.
    Here is an example translation file where "fr-occ" corresponds to "Occitanie".

ℹ The hierarchical recognition file is automatically generated when saving the map.

  • For a JSON map:
  1. In the File(s) section, click Add a file... and select the source file.

Add a level

It is possible to add map levels to associate a map with a hierarchy. To do this:

  1. Select the map and, if necessary, the level below which you want to add a level.
  2. Click the Add a level... Then...

For a JSON format:

  1. In the Add a level dialog box that appears, enter the level name and select the map background file.

For an SVG or SHP format:

  1. In the Add a level dialog box that appears, enter the level name then click OK.
    ➡ The level is added below the selection.
  2. Select the newly added level.
  3. Then click the Add files button in the toolbar.
    ➡ The Add file(s) SVG (or SHP) to the level dialog box appears.
  4. Proceed as described in the Add a map section to add the files.
    For this additional level, an extra option is available: Enter file prefix/suffix manually. It allows adding the prefix or suffix to the configuration file if the file name differs from the SVG identifiers "{id}".
