Advanced Settings - Define Contents

In this settings window, you determine which contents of your map should be available in EasyMap Xplorer. For example, you can configure the initial Default view when calling the workbook or select a Background map.

Note: Please note that some of the settings only apply to the EasyMap Xplorer and others are also applied directly to EasyMap. The settings which are taken over in the workbook are marked separately. The changes that are applied to the workbook are marked with ¹.

Structure of the Settings Window

In linken part of the settings window you can see the contents of the EasyMap-workbook, structured and summarized corresponding to the view in the EasyMap Xplorer. The map levels are marked differently depending on availability:

	layer is available in EasyMap Xplorer and is already visible when opening the map.
	Layer is available in EasyMap Xplorer, initially invisible when opened, but can be made visible in EasyMap Xplorer.
	Layers is not available in EasyMap Xplorer. If the font for these layers is displayed in gray, you cannot change the availability (e.g. PTV maps or for area layers without colored areas).
	If a layer has further sub-elements or if, for example, the base map has been combined to form a layer, there is an arrow pointing to the right in front of it which lists the sub-elements by expanding it. If legends have been inserted for an analysis, the Legend sub-element is listed.

After selecting an element, you can adjust various settings for display, label or filter on the right page of the window.

Toolbar

You can use the toolbar to control the following actions:

	Expand the view.
	Reduce the view.
	Move one layer up.
	Move one layer down.

Preview - Transfer - Reset

Preview

The Preview shows you the control windows in the Xplorer. There you can see at a glance the effects of your settings on the control windows, such as Legend and Search. The arrangement of several legends in a map can be changed.

Note: Please note that when setting the legends under the control window, no legend is displayed in the preview. To view the legend, please click on the More button and get the preview here.

Transfer

Settings can be transferred not only in the context menu of the changeable properties, but also via the Transmit button.

After clicking on the button, you can select all elements to which this setting is to be transferred.

In the dialog Transfer to you can expand or reduce the view using the plus and minus buttons. You can use the dropdown menu to filter the displayed layers by analysis, map or legend, or to display all layers.

A click on All (top right) sets a check mark for all available elements, so that the setting is applied to all selected elements. If this is not desired, you can cancel this selection by clicking None.

Reset

With the button Reset different settings can be undone. The properties availability, visibility and order allow all changes in these areas to be undone.

If you want to reset all changes simply click on Reset all settings. This will reset all changes that did not affect the workbook itself.

Also the default settings, which were predefined when replacing a workbook, are now set to the settings of the new workbook and thus overwritten when uploading.

Commands in the context menu

In the table of contents on the left, you can call context menu commands on individual levels.

Changing the order of maps and layers

For single layers and maps you can change the display order with the commands Layer down and Layer up or also add a layer to the base map. If the layer is added to the base map, it can no longer be made visible or invisible separately in the Xplorer. Layers below the base map can be removed from this group with the context menu command remove from base map and can be used as a separate layer in the content of the map, with all setting options like other layers.

Transfer settings

Would you like to transfer individual settings directly to several analyses or to all maps?

On the right side, you can apply the settings made for individual properties to other layers via the context menu command Transfer to....Select the appropriate setting, e.g. available = Yes, and then click Transfer. Another window opens, in which you can select the layers to which you want to transfer the setting.
