Mappin Administrator’s Guide

Welcome to the Mappin Administrator’s Guide. The bulk of this guide has been written in two main parts:

• A quick start guide to help you quickly get your first maps published through Mappin; and
• A comprehensive guide to Mappin’s administrator interface

If you want to learn about Mappin’s capabilities, why not take a look through the Mappin Modules documentation - each section features examples and screenshots.
