•Selection layer
All layers of the WebOffice 10.9 R3 project configuration that are selectable/identifiable are listed in this menu.

 

 

Note: Only layers that have been configured as selectable/identifiable will be listed as selection layers. See chapter Layer Queries for details about the configuration in WebOffice author or use the wizard Define Selectable/Identifiable Layers.

Note: See chapter WebOffice Defaults for special settings like displaying only visible layers in the layer selection or if by default on all visible layers shall be selected.

Note: Provide a better overview about layers available for selection by configuring layer categories (like in the figure above). See chapter List of Layer Categories for details.

 

•Selection mode

Note: This option will not be available if the selection layer is set to Visible Layers. Multiple layer selections cannot be displayed together in a Search Result, they rather will be listed in the Feature Summary.

 

Dynamic Selection

By configuration, object selections can be displayed using animated graphics like animated GIF files. Displaying dynamic selection symbols enables the user to immediately know where to find the objects searched for because the objects are marked by animated graphic images.
