Uploading Data and Images for a Custom Layer

Use the Upload tab to upload raw JSON, a file, or an image for a custom layer. You upload one thing at a time, but you can repeat the process to upload multiple types of data for the same layer.

The UI does not validate the overall format of the JSON that you upload as raw data or a file, but it does check the following requirements:

• For point data:

  • The IDs of each node must be unique.

  • The latitude and longitude fields are required.

• For pLink data:

  • The IDs of each node must be unique.

  • The name, startLat, endLat, startLng, and endLng fields are required.

• If you include the MetaData field, its value must be a JSON object. It cannot be a string.

   • In the Data field, enter the JSON data for the layer and click Upload Data. You are responsible for ensuring that it is properly-formatted JSON. The UI does not validate the JSON structure for you, other than checking the requirements described above.

   • Select the File tab, select a file for the layer, and click Upload Data.
