Installing UI views

UI views are plugins to the core product which customise the frontend for a certain use case or community. GeoNetwork Enterprise comes with a default view and a minimal view. By default the minimal view is activated in GeoNetwork Enterprise. The core product can be extended by installing additional views.

Configuration of UI views includes two steps:

  1. Downloading the corresponding UI view package.

  2. Deploying it into GeoNetwork.

Downloading a UI package

UI view packages are available in the GeoCat Nexus repository. To download, follow these steps:
