Data Attribution

You can show where your data comes from by adding credits to your map. There are two ways to do this:

• Map-level: For general credits that apply to the entire map.
• Data-level: For a specific vector dataset.

Warning

Map credits give proper recognition to your data sources. When sharing your map, make sure all required copyright notes and provider names are included.

Tip

Enter <a href="https://example.com">Data provider</a> in the attribution field to display “Data provider” as a clickable link.

Add Map Attribution#

To display a common attribution across the entire map, set the attribution on the map itself.

1. Log in to Kumoy and open your map on the web.

   

2. In the Layer Panel, click the map name and select Edit.

   

3. Fill in the attribution field and save.

   

4. Click the i icon at the bottom right of the map canvas to show the attribution you entered.

   

Add Data Attribution#

To credit a single dataset, add the source information to that dataset.

1. Log in to Kumoy and select your vector on the web.

2. Click the vector name and select Edit.

   

3. Fill in the attribution field and save.

   

4. Click the i icon at the bottom right of the screen to view the attribution you entered.

   

5. When you open a map that uses this vector, the same attribution also appears on the map.

   

Tip

If a vector's attribution isn't appearing on the map, check that its layer is visible in the Layers panel.
