Copying styling from an existing dataset

* You need to be logged in to Smart Dublin to view or update the styling on a resource

For Smart Dublin we are going to use common styling for harmonized datasets across the local authorities so you may be able to just copy an existing style.

  • Go to the associated dataset that has already been styled
  • Open the “Web Map Service” resource and click on the “Edit Style” button

  • Click into the styling code and use CTRL-A, CTRL-C to copy the code
  • Leave that page without making any changes
  • Navigate to your original dataset and select the “Web Map Service” resource
  • Click on “Edit Style” and use CTRL-A, CTRL-V to paste in the code from the other dataset. Use the “Change Style” button to save the new style:

  • You should now see a success message:

  • Now return to the dataset page and refresh it – you should now see the results of the styling:

  • If the page does not change, try refreshing it again or loading a private window - it should update so that you can see the effects of the styling.
