2-3. Name, interface group and branding

In this tutorial you will start a fresh configuration and give it a title, an interface group and a colour scheme.

  1. Open the Config Builder at https://ge-config-builder.apex.esa.int/.

  2. On the Home tab, edit the Application Title (by clicking on the pen icon) and rename the configuration to something of your choice — for example, <your name>'s first config.

  3. Move to the Layers tab.

    • Edit Interface group 1 (by clicking on the pen icon) and rename it to Forest Carbon.

    • Delete the other default interface groups so only Forest Carbon remains.

  4. Move to the Settings tab and scroll down to the Branding Settings section. Change some of the colours to a scheme of your choice. There is not an explicit Save step here - the changes are applied directly to the config. You could also change the logo to the URL of another logo if you want.

  5. Select the Preview tab to see the changes applied to a live copy of the Geospatial Explorer.

    Your preview might look something like this:

No Forest Carbon interface group displayed?

You will notice that the interface group you renamed to Forest Carbon in Step 3 is not displayed. Don't worry, this is expected behaviour. The Geospatial Explorer only builds the parts of the interface that have data to show, and we'll do that shortly.
