Toolbar Overview#
Key Functionalities#
The Toolbar is the control center of the web map, where you’ll find various functionalities for editing, layer management, and map printing. Here are the key ones:
Layers : Layers that are greyed out are out of range and require zooming in to become active. Simply tick the box next to a layer to display it on the map.
Editing : Multiple layers can be edited. To edit a layer, select the one you wish to modify, then draw on the map (click to drop vertices and double-click to end digitising). Then complete the attribute form and press “Save.”
Note
For additional editing and digitising functionalities, refer to Section X.
Printing : Printing high-quality maps is straightforward. You can select your page size, adjust the extent and scale, input your project details, and choose your print format (PDF, JPG, etc.).
