Set tiles and terrain for geospatial asset preview

The tiles are the background of the map that previews geospatial data assets. The terrain is the relief of the ground on that map. You add tiles and terrain under Geospatial asset preview setting on the workspace’s Settings screen.

You can register more than one of each, and the first one in the tiles list and the first one in the terrain list are used as the defaults.

Only Owner and Maintainer can change this screen. Writer and Reader can open it and see the registered tiles and terrain.
