There are also additional options:
Link to the main map - to go from the site to the map page in Web GIS
Generate events - for integration and programmatic interaction with the iframe
Preview - to preview the embedded Web Map before publishing it
To embed a Web Map with all the panels available remove /tiny part from the Web GIS link in iframe code. This will allow users, for instance, to enable and disable particular layers.
If you are a developer check out the code.nextgis.com library suite and the NGW API.
1.18.1. How to share a link to a particular Web Map feature
Using specially generated GET queries you can share a link to a particular feature of a layer. The link will open with the geographical context that you can select in the Web Map settings.
All you need to do is create links in the information systems. By clicking on them users will be directed to the map with the selected feature and context.
Such links can be automatically generated by your system integrated with NextGIS Web.
Here’s an example:
https://demo.nextgis.com/resource/7023/display?panel=layers - the “pure” Web Map link;
hl_lid – layer ID;
hl_attr – attribute (name of attribute field of feature ID);
hl_val – value of feature ID;
zoom - value in numbers with 1 as a minimum.
