Boisteault Nicolas

I'm working for 3Liz for 4 years and love to improve the web GIS Lizmap.
I'm mainly developing the frontend part but I also like to make some SQL with PostgreSQL/PostGIS and some PHP.
I also like teaching and sharing web and GIS knowledge.

Advanced QGIS forms into the web with Lizmap
Boisteault Nicolas

You would like many people from your team or crowdsourcing to fill data in your geodatabase. One way to do that is to make appealing, easy to use and well-constructed forms avoiding wrong inputs. Also, you do not want people to give up filling because the form is too long while in the same time you could automatically fill some entries based on others. With QGIS Desktop, it is possible to make great maps but also advanced forms by using expressions to control field visibility, default values, proposed values, constraints and more. It is very powerful but now how to share those forms to anybody whatever their device or operating system? Could it be possible to share a link for people to open and fill those forms in their web browser?
Let’s see how you can get most of these features for your forms in web browsers thanks to QGIS Server and Lizmap.

State of Lizmap - Past / Present / Futur
Boisteault Nicolas, Etienne Trimaille, René-Luc Dhont

Lizmap is an opensource server application to publish QGIS project on the web without any coding skills needed.
It's using QGIS Server in the backend so users have the same rendering between their QGIS Desktop and the web version of their project.

QGIS Server and Lizmap are reading QGIS project to publish layers with their legend, forms, print layout, layer relationships... Some additional Lizmap configuration can be added to have dataviz capabilities, decide or not to publish the attribute table or to configure the feature filter form. No coding skills are required, all the configuration is done using QGIS Desktop user interface.
The QGIS project is adapted for web browsers and have a responsive UI. Lizmap include some Access Control List at different levels such as project, layer or even features.

The goal of this presentation is to show the state of this opensource project hosted on GitHub and to explain the roadmap.
