Add Layers

Map layers can be added through the Admin Manager Application. This page will provide information on how to add map layers to fiResponse that will be visible on the desktop, web, or mobile platforms.

Note: Users must have the appropriate role and permissions to access the Admin Manager Application.

Access the Admin Manager Application by clicking on the Admin Manager button on the fiResponse Web Applications landing page. Map layers can be added, edited, or deleted using the Manage layers tab. Users can manage which layers are visible on desktop, web, or mobile by using the Manage TOC (Table of Contents) tab. This page is divided into two parts, Manage layers and Manage TOC to clearly explain each task.

Manage layers

1. Within Admin Manager expand Manage Maps.

2. Click Manager layers. A list of existing map layers and a map view will appear.

3. To add a new map layer, click the + Add button near the top of the page. A Layer form will appear near the bottom of the page.

4. Complete all required fields and complete optional fields as necessary.

5. Click Save. The new map layer will be added in the list. See the Manage TOC section below to learn how to make a layer visible on desktop, web, or mobile platforms.
