To copy styling from an existing dataset

For Dublinked 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 WMS (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 WMS 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.
