# General Map and Layer Configuration

The follow basic layer configuration settings apply to all the layer type settings. For more information on overall map information and settings, see the ‘Getting Started with Mapping’ guide.

## **Layer Order**

By changing the order of the map layers in the ‘Active System Layers’ section you can determine the order in which the layers are displayed logically on the map. If a layer is at the top of the list, it will take precedence over any other layer in the list and display on the top.

To change the order:

1. Navigate to the **Mapping** section in 12d Synergy Administrator and under the **Map Configuration** tab click the **Move Up** or **Move Down** buttons to adjust the order of your layers. Click **Save** to confirm your changes
2. To check your changes, navigate to the **Mapping** section of 12d Synergy Administrator under the **Default Map View**tab. For any troubleshooting, refer to the ‘Troubleshooting’ section of this document

## **Enabling or Disabling a Layer**

1. Navigate to the Mapping section in 12d Synergy Administrator and under the Map Configuration tab select the layer you wish to enable or disable from the list.

2. In the ‘Configure Map Layer’ window you will see an **Active** tick box option. Leaving this box unticked will disable the layer and ticking it will enable it
3. Click **Set** then click **Save** to remember your changes

## **Deleting a Layer**

1. Navigate to the Mapping section in 12d Synergy Administrator and under the **Map Configuration** tab select the layer you wish to delete. Once selected, click the – (Minus) button down the bottom
2. A message will appear asking you to confirm if you wish to delete the layer, click ‘Yes’
3. Click **Save** to confirm your changes
