Layer Tab

The layer tab is used to configure the overall layer, including its name and properties. These properties are based on the OpenLayers Layer class.

Name: The name of the map layer. This appears in the layer control menu and summary table.

Default Visibility: Choose whether the layer is visible by default when the map loads.

Layer Properties:
  • Opacity: Transparency of the layer (0 to 1).

  • minResolution: Minimum resolution (inclusive) for layer visibility.

  • maxResolution: Maximum resolution (exclusive) for layer visibility.

  • minZoom: Minimum zoom level (exclusive) for layer visibility.

  • maxZoom: Maximum zoom level (inclusive) for layer visibility.

  • minZoomQuery: Minimum zoom level (inclusive) at which the layer can be queried. If the map is clicked beyond this zoom, it will zoom in to minZoomQuery.

Layer Template: At the bottom of all tabs, you can choose a layer template. This loads a preconfigured layer. Use the dropdown menu to select from available options.
