5 Project management with CartoDruid

CartoDruid is a multi-project tool that allows having several work configurations in the same installation. Each project has its own configuration files, all stored in the /cartodroid/config folder.

From the tool itself, projects can be created and loaded with the buttons that appear at the bottom of the TOC.

The configuration of a CartoDruid project is mainly supported by two files stored in the /cartodroid/config folder:

  • crtdrdLayers.<project_id>.xml: contains the project layer configuration, it is mandatory. By default, CartoDruid installation includes an empty crtdrdLayers.xml file to work with the basic project.
  • crtdrdSymbologies.<project_id>.xml: custom symbology configuration file for the project. It is optional; if not included, the default crtdrdSymbologies.xml file that comes with the installation will be used to search for styles and symbologies.
