Temporal layers (Time Manager)

QWC supports WMS layers with time dimension (WMS-T) through the TimeManager plugin.

Time Manager

To view and manage temporal layers in QWC, add a new time dimension, selecting appropriate temporal fields as start- and end-attributes in the QGIS Layer Properties → QGIS Server → Dimensions.

For the time markers functionality in the Time Manager plugin to work correctly, you also need to enable the qwc-feature-info-service.

Note:

  • An end-time attribute must be specified, or else the QGIS Server won't render any feature even if the passed time dimension is greater than the start-time attribute. If your data does not have an end attribute, you can for instance create a view which adds an end attribute with value i.e. now() or a value far in the future.
  • The QGIS Layer Properties → Temporal settings are ignored by QGIS Server and hence have no effect in QWC.
