Geodata & GeoFace

BraDypUS stores geographic coordinates (points, polygons, lines) for records that have geodata configured, and displays them on an interactive map via the GeoFace module.

Enabling geodata for a table

In Config → Fields, add a field of type… geodata fields are not regular fields but are enabled per-table. When records have geodata, the total count appears in RecordView.

Geodata can be imported from GeoJSON (see Import data).

The GeoFace map

Open GeoFace from the sidebar to see all geolocated records on an interactive map (MapLibre GL JS).

• Points, lines and polygons are rendered from the stored WKT geometries.
• Click a feature to open its record.
• The active DataView filter is inherited — only filtered records appear on the map.

Configuring map layers

Open Config → Geoface to add or edit map layers.

Supported layer types:

Type	Description
WMS	OGC Web Map Service — raster tiles
WFS	OGC Web Feature Service — vector features
Local file	GeoJSON or KML file uploaded to the server (projects/{app}/geodata/)

For each layer configure:

Property	Description
Label	Display name shown in the layer switcher
URL	Service endpoint or local file path
Layer	Layer name (WMS/WFS)
Attribution	Copyright/attribution text shown on the map
Visible by default	Whether the layer is on when the map opens

Adding geodata to a record

In RecordEdit, the geodata panel shows a mini-map. Click to place a point, or draw a polygon/line with the drawing tools. The geometry is stored as WKT.

To remove geodata from a record, click Clear geometry in the geodata panel.
