The legend for the maps displayed in the map window is shown in the Map Content panel on the Sidebar. Here you can manage your legend, change the layers order, modify a layer styles, and perform other tasks concerned with the map view in the map window.
Map content consists of the following tabs:
In the Layers tab, the layers that are currently available in the map window are shown.
The order of items in the Layers tab reflects the sequence of layers corresponding to the items on the map. The first element (top) in the list corresponds to the top layer on the map.
To change the order of the layers on the map, use drag and drop to change the order of the corresponding elements in the Layers tab.
You can control the display of a layer with a check box next to the layer name. Check the box to display the layer and clear the box to turn off the corresponding layer on the map.
Layer properties such as display mode, locatable, translucency, and format can be set in the Layers tab. The properties possible to be set depend on the service (data source). All settings for layers are accessible from the context menu for the selected item.
The following features and commands for layers are available:
Menu Item |
Description |
Display mode |
Sets options for the quality and efficiency for displaying layers on the map. Two modes are available: buffer view and tiling. |
Fit layer |
Adjusts the map window so the entire layer is visible. |
Locatable |
If enabled, highlights and selects features on the map. This is required for the Feature info command to work properly. |
Translucency |
Defines the transparency for the layer. |
Format |
Changes the format in which data is presented on a map, for example, .png, .jpeg, .svg, .svgz, and .gif. |
Rename |
Changes the name of the layer. |
Remove |
Removes a layer from the Map Content. You can also remove layers by selecting the layer and clicking Delete. |
Filter |
Filters the vector data by attribute values. It applies only to data derived from sources such as WFS, MPS. |
The graphic indicator (
icon), along with a message that appears when you hover over the entry, is shown in Map Content if the number of objects displayed on the map is limited by the MaxFeatures parameter for WFS service. The message for the MaxFeatures indicator shows what the limitation is.
In case more restrictions apply to a given feature class (for example, the data is out of scale), the message for the MaxFeature limitation will be visible only when you hover over the graphic indicator icon. Messages for other limitations will be displayed when you hover on an entry in the legend.
For more information about the MaxFeatures parameter, contact the Geospatial Portal administrator.
The Data Source tab contains information about data sources and maps. Entries are grouped by source/data providers.
This feature is by default turned off in apollo.aspx and apollopro.aspx layouts. If this functionality is required contact your Geospatial Administrator to modify the appropriate layout in the Administration Console.
The Categories tab lets you arrange all available layers into groups. The hierarchic structure of the data served by the services can be seen in the Categories tab.
This feature is by default turned off in apollo.aspx and apollopro.aspx layouts. If this functionality is required contact your Geospatial Administrator to modify the appropriate layout in the Administration Console.
