Map Views |

A map that consists of up to 200 layers is quite complex and hard to understand for casual non expert users. A map collection increases complexity even more. Therefore WebOffice 10 R3 provides the concept of predefined map views which makes switching between different visibility settings of layers, layer groups and services much easier for the user.
Advantages of map views are:
•Easy to use because the user just has to select a value from a list box control
•A map view does not contain visibility settings only but e.g.
- Transparency levels for map services as well as
- Expansion status of elements of the table of contents (expanded or collapsed map service node etc.) and optional
- Additional information like metadata info etc.
Therefore, we recommend to use always map views, because only they assure the acceptance of non expert users.
