Add a Layer

To start, click “+ Data layer” in the Layer Palette.

The layer library appears.

The layer library includes public layers (available to all Giraffe users) and private layers (available only to you, your teams, or your workspace).

Simply check the tick box next to a layer to add it to your current Project, Space, or Template. Close the layer library to see the layers appear on your map.

For a basic, wide search - toggle on "filter by map location" to see layers with defined boundaries that include your project boundary.

The search bar searches all text in any property saved on the layer, including title, description, and more.

Search here to find all layers available to you. Search looks through all text, including layer name, description, tags, etc.

Try searching “cadastre,” “flood,” “wetlands,” “parcels,” “opportunity zones” or whatever you need!

Sometimes you want to search within a particular column - that is what filtering is great for!

To filter, select the filter icon on the column header

Then, input or select the values you want to filter by

If this is a filter set you will use again and again, click “save filters” to make it the default in your currently selected Projects or your Home Space.

Group layers by Layer Group or Workspace to organize layers into visual headings.
