Map Options
Below are the options availble for each map.
Name
Give your map a name. The name will appear as the map title on the dashboard.
Description
The Description is the text that will appear at the bottom of the map link
Data
The Data section is where you can connect your map layers to their Data Sources to make them dynamic.
Layer Cache
When you connect your map to a PostGIS Data Source, you have the option of caching layers for better performance.
By default, cache is disabled.
You can enable caching on a per Layer basis by specifying the cache interval.
When set, this is the interval at which your map will check the database for updates.
If you have enabled cache and wish to clear it, you can do so by clicking the Clear Cache icon on the Map page:

Info Box.
The InfoBox is a modal information box you can display to map users.
Security
Maps can be Private or Public.
The Security section is where you assign permissions to your map.
Security is Group based, so any users belonging to the Group will be able to view the map.
Private Maps
Private maps can be viewed by the user logging into your map portal or via Secure Share link (for temporary access)
For example, since we gave access to the Group containing user Jane Doe, when she logs in she will see only the two maps she has permissions to
Public Maps
You can also tick the “Public” box to make your map public.
If your map is “Public”, you can use the map url to display the map.
