•The configuration of thumbnails for map views and basemaps only affects the WebOffice flex Client.

•Provide preview images with the size 90x50 pixels but at least with the aspect ratio of 3:2.

Use in clients without TOC?

Specifies whether this map view shall be used in clients which have no table of content (TOC).

For the WebOffice html client the visibility of the TOC can be specified, the WebOffice mobile client and the WebOffice flex client do not have a TOC.

Visible in list of map views?

Specifies whether this map view shall be shown in the list of map views.

This allows defining map views that can be used for search queries and external calls but cannot be chosen manually.

•It is recommended to use only visibility attributes on (visible) and off (invisible). Please also consider the concept when switching between map views.

•It is not possible to set a cached service above a dynamic service in the table of contents. This scenario is not supported by WebOffice, because it would cause the generation of a dynamic map image of all map services, which would prevent the performance advantages of cached map services.
