### Layer Filter

Launch Pozi with a filtered view of the available layers.

For example, show only the layers that are related to assets:

https://northerngrampians.pozi.com/#/filter[assets]/tab[layers]/

Only layers whose name or folder name contains "assets" will be displayed.

### Panel Focus

Launch Pozi with one of the five available panels displayed to the left of the map.

==- About layer names

Pozi does not currently support duplicate layer names within a site.

If you have two layers that share a name, even if they are maintained in separate QGIS projects, [alter the layer name](https://docs.qgis.org/latest/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#source-properties) on one or both layers in the affected QGIS project(s) so that they are no longer the same.

Similarly, *layer folder* names must be unique, and must not share a name with any layer or layer folder within a site.

## Naming Layers

!!! Note

Pozi does not currently support duplicate layer names within a site.

If you have two layers that share a name, even if they are maintained in separate QGIS projects, alter the layer name (as described below) on one or both layers in the affected QGIS project(s) so that they are no longer the same.

Similarly, *layer folder* names must be unique, and must not share a name with any layer or layer folder within a site.

!!!

When you add a layer in QGIS, you can rename it from its original name to a more meaningful, user-friendly name within the QGIS project. Changing the name in QGIS does not affect the source table or file.

Go to Layer Properties > Source > Layer name

https://docs.qgis.org/latest/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#source-properties

Spaces are allowed. To provide users with a better experience, it is recommended to replace any underscores with spaces and use spaces to separate words that may have been combined in the original name.

==- Reserved layer names

The following layer names cannot be used because they are reserved by the Pozi application:

- Whats Here
- Pozi Annotation
- Pozi Highlight
- Pozi Current Target
- Pozi Measurement

All variations of these layer names (with or without spaces or capitalisation) are also reserved.

Pozi link-ins have long supported the selection of specific features, but additional URL parameters were required to position the map view at the appropriate location. Pozi now automatically zooms to the selected feature based on its location as well as its size.

### Control Which Field is Used for the Link
### Choose Your Link Field

Previously, the link-in required Pozi's internal id field as the feature link, which didn't always reflect the id field known to external applications. Now, the link-in URL can specify *any* field from the selected feature's layer to use for the link. Simply append the layer name with a dot followed by the field name to the layer name in the link-in URL.

==- Does Pozi have a testing environment?

The Pozi app has production and staging links that enable clients to preview upcoming enhancements and new features before they are released.

On the client’s side, the client’s production QGIS Server is the single source of truth for its layer configuration. Pozi doesn’t integrate with any non-production QGIS Server for testing or other purposes.
