The Gisquick clients are designed with a goal to put together a minimal set of functions for useful generic responsive web and mobile-friendly mapping application.
The major part of the client's User Interface (UI) is occupied by map canvas (1). Content management tools <content-menu> (2) are located on the left side and can be hidden using the button on its right side (3). Corners of map canvas are filled up (clockwise from the bottom-left corner) with map scale (4), tools
<tool-menu> (5), user menu <user-menu> (6) and zoom tools <zoom-menu> (7). The status bar is located in the bottom part and it shows current scale, projection and map coordinates of the cursor (8).

Gisquick user interface description.
Content management widget is split into three major tabs:
- Base Layers
- Overlay Layers
- Legend
../img/content-tabs.png
Content tabs.
Base Layers tab allows switching base layers in the map canvas. The list of base layers is defined by the publication process.
../img/ui-base-layers.png
Switching among base layers.
In the tab, you can set the opacity of the base layer.
../img/ui-opacity.png
Setting opacity of the base layer.
Overlay Layers tab allows switching among topics (layer groups), or controlling overlay layers one by one.
../img/ui-topics.png
Switching among topics.
In the tab, you can set the opacity of the base layer.
../img/ui-opacity.png
Setting opacity of the overlay layers.
To switch to Layers mode use Topics and Layers switcher.
../img/ui-overlay-layers.png
Topics and Layers switcher.
In Layers mode the overlay layers can be switch on/off one by one.
../img/ui-map-layers.png
Switch on/off overlay layers.
Tip
It is also possible to switch on/off group of layers 
.
Legend tab depicts currently selected layers in Layers tab.

Legend.
In the Layers mode, attribute data can be accessed by 
. The attribute table is displayed in the bottom part, see figure below.
../img/ui-attributes.png
Layer attribute table.
The attribute table allows data filtering based on simple queries, see figures below.
../img/ui-attribute-filter-0.png
Choose operator for attribute filter.
../img/ui-attribute-filter-1.png
Define filter and refresh attribute table view.
Tip
Attribute table shows only a few rows. Use the arrows 
to scroll through the rows. Attributes can be also filtered by map canvas Filter to visible area.
Every row in the attribute table has a Zoom to button 
which enables zooming and centering related features in map canvas, see figure below.
../img/ui-zoom-to-feature.png
Zoom into selected feature.
Note
Attribute filter can be disabled by 
. Table view must be refreshed.
Also, every row has an Information button 
which displays the information panel with relevant data.
../img/ui-info-feature.png
Visualization selected data.
Zoom tools enable controlling map view. Two basic zoom tools are available:
- Zoom in/out
- Zoom to extent
Tip
Zooming and panning are also possible by the middle mouse button.
Two basic tools are available:
- Identify
- Measurement
By default, features are identified in all visible layers (in the example below in Schools and District layers).
../img/identify.png
Identify schools and district layer.
These settings can be changed in the Identification combo box.
../img/identification-layers.png
Change layer priority for identification.
Three measurement modes are available:
- Location (point coordinates)
- Distance
- Area
../img/ui-measure-tools.png
Measurement tools.
../img/measure-location.png
Location measurement example. Menu highlighted in red ring.
Location menu allows:
- Zoom to location
* Change the spatial reference system By default, two systems are supported: QGIS project system and WGS-84 (EPSG:4326) known as "GPS coordinates".
../img/ui-location-menu.png
Location menu.
../img/measure-distance.png
Distance measurement example. Menu highlighted in red ring.
Distance menu allows:
- Zoom to distance
* Change units Currently, two systems are supported: international (EU) and imperial (UK, US).
../img/ui-distance-menu.png
Distance menu.
../img/measure-area.png
Area measurement example. Menu highlighted in red ring.
Area menu allows:
- Zoom to area
* Change units Currently, two systems are supported: international (EU) and imperial (UK, US).
../img/ui-area-menu.png
Area menu.
Note
Currently, no snapping to features is supported by measurement tools.
Before project publication <publishing>, the print tool 
can be activated in Gisquick, which enables one to download raw output from QGIS server GetPrint request and allows interactive visualization of map content directly in this template. One can zoom, pan and rotate the map and see exactly how the result will look like. To get a better idea, see the video below.
Important
Print tool in Gisquick is not accessible in Guest session <guest-session>, only log in users can use this tool.
User menu allows to:
- Logout current user
- Open user profile page
- Enter/Leave Full Screen mode
- Display attributions
- Show Help (this document)
../img/map-attribution.png
Map attributions displayed.
User page (My profile in the User menu) allows managing published projects and uploading new ones. In Projects tab user can browse published projects including basic metadata. A project can be opened by clicking on its name.
../img/ui-user-menu.png
User page contains list of published projects. (Projects button is highlighted in red square)
Tip
Project data is available also via WMS service, click WMS link button 
. To open the project in the map canvas, click 
.
New projects can be uploaded by clicking the upload button. Note that existing project will be automatically overwritten. Projects can be uploaded in zip or tag.gz formats.
Note
See project size limits in Configuration
<docker-configuration> section.
../img/ui-user-page-upload.png
Upload project button is highlighted in red square. Project publishing button is highlighted in green square.
Project settings are opened by clicking the project name. See chapter Releasing project <releasing-project> for more information.
