Overlay Layers

This article covers:

• Viewing data in the map viewer

• Layer values

• Viewing metadata

Viewing Data Layers in the Map Viewer

To view the list of data layers contained in the project click 'Overlay Layers' or the layer stack icon. In most projects, layers will be organized into folders. Click the arrow next to a folder to expand the contents. Click a layer to add it to the map. You can add multiple layers at a time. If you are unable to select a layer, it is most likely restricted and you need to be granted access to view it.

Layer Values

Some layers will display their attributes when you hover your cursor over them. This may be a feature classification (like the example below), or a pixel value.

Viewing Metadata

To view a layer's metadata (information about the layer), right click and select 'Metadata' from the drop down menu. The information contained in the metadata will depend on what the project administrators chose to include.
