WFS/OAPI

Lizmap Web Client uses the Web Feature Service (WFS) to get data from a QGIS vector layer and display it in the web interface. This is why the first thing to do whenever you want to show a layer data in the web client is to publish the vector layer through the WFS.

  1. Open the Project properties ‣ QGIS Server ‣ WFS/OAPI

  2. For a given layer:

    1. Use the checkbox Published

    2. If your layer is in meters, decrease the number of decimals, to reduce the size of data to be fetched from WFS. Two decimals might be enough if your layer is in meters.

  3. Save the project
