Managing scenes

SuperMap iPortal provides the following scene management functions:

• Add scenes in batch: Used to add scenes in batch by inputting the 3D service address.
• Manage scenes: Manage all the scenes added in iPortal (view, edit, search, delete, modify sharing scope, set as featured).

Add scenes in batch

SuperMap iPortal supports registering all-version (including the lowest version) SuperMap iServer services to the portal in batch.

Log in to your portal, click Management> Resources Management>Scene, click "Add scene in batch", then perform the following steps to finish the adding process.

1. Input the service address

Enter the 3D service address in the pop-up dialog box. 3D service address requires the actual ip address or domain name, and the commonly used 3D service address formats are as follows:

• Service root address: when inputting this service address, all the scenes of the public 3D services under the services directory will be added to your portal.
• http://supermapiserver:8090/iserver/services
• Specific 3D service address: when inputting this service address, all the scenes of the corresponding service will be added to your portal.
• http://supermapiserver:8090/iserver/services/3D-ChinaProvinces/rest

2. Set the sharing scope

You can share the added scenes to be added with all portal users (including anonymous users), specified departments, specified groups, specified users, or don't share with anyone, ie., just can be accessed by yourself. After the scenes have been successfully added, you can also modify scenes sharing scope.

3. Click the "OK" button to complete the batch registration.

Currently only support for adding the SuperMap REST 3D services to scenes in batch.

Manage Scenes

As an administrator, you can perform the following operations on scenes by entering Management > Resources Management > Scenes.

View/Edit basic scene Infos

Click one specified scene, detailed info page will appear, click the "Edit Attributes" button at the right bottom page, you can replace the thumbnail and edit the scene name, tags and description.

Delete Scenes

Check one or multiple scenes and click the "Delete" button to remove the scenes you don't need anymore.

Search Scenes

Search the scenes you want to find by inputting the scenes name or the scenes owner in the input box on the right bottom page.

Modify the sharing scope of scenes

On the Scenes management page, check one or more scenes, and click the "Share" button to modify the sharing permissions of scenes in batches. The supported sharing scopes include:

• Private: Only the author and portal administrator can retrieve, or view scene information.
• Public: Allows all users (including anonymous users) to search or browse scenes.
• Designated Department: Allow members of the designated department to search, or view. You can specify that members under one or more departments can search, or view. By default, sharing with department function is disabled; to enable sharing with department, the administrator needs to configure it in the iportal.xml configuration file.

• Designated groups: Allow members of the designated groups to search, and view. You can specify that members under one or more groups can search, and view.
• Designated User: Allow designated users to search, or view. You can add one or more users to the "Selected Users" list. Users in the "Selected Users" list have retrieval permissions by default, and you can manually check the viewing permissions.

If you have selected multiple scenes with the same authorized sharing scope, when you click "Share", you can view their current sharing scopes; if the sharing scopes are different, you cannot view them, but you can still authorize the selected scenes in bulk. After authorization, these scenes have the same sharing scope.

Set as featured scenes

On the Scenes management page, click the button in the "Set as Featured" column to mark the corresponding scene as a Featured scene. When displaying featured scenes in the Resource Center, it will carry the corresponding featured logos, so that portal members can quickly access the featured resources. Note: Scene resources with private permissions can't be set as featured resources.
