Administrator Guide
You set the map up; your team opens a link. This guide covers your side: connect Groundwork to your data, configure what your team receives, and share the link. The User Guide covers theirs.
Groundwork keeps no copy of your data. It reads from your source every time a map loads, so updating the data means changing it where you already keep it.
The worked example throughout is a council street-trees project: one editable point layer of trees, styled by species.
Run the complete setup and handover once.
Create the map and choose from cloud folders, servers and catalogues.
Layer sources, the display field, and what styling the browser reproduces.
Folder layout, sharing, and how your team’s edits are saved.
Set the fields, filters and view your team opens on.
Copy the link, choose what it includes, and decide who can edit.
