Specifying Basic Viewer Components to Display

Specify which components of the Viewer are displayed when your users view the web layout in a browser. The Viewer can display the following sets of components:

Left Pane

Controls the display of the Layers Pane and the Properties Pane. The Layers Pane displays a list of layers. The Properties Pane displays properties for a selected feature. The pane is blank if multiple features are selected. To define the properties to display in the Properties Pane, see Specifying the Properties to Display in the Viewer.

If you display the left pane you can specify the width in pixels.

Middle Pane

Controls the display of the Toolbar, Context Menu, Status Bar, and the Zoom Control for the AJAX viewer.

Right Pane

Controls the display of the Task pane. The Task pane can display a Task bar, interactive prompts, and the results of searches and interactive commands.

If you display the right pane you can specify the width in pixels.

To specify Viewer components

1. In the Settings pane of the Web Layout Editor, locate the Display These Components In The Viewer section.
2. For Left Pane, do the following:
   • Select Layers Pane, Properties Pane, or both.
   • For Width (Pixels), specify a width for the left pane.
3. For Middle Pane, select any or all of the following checkboxes: Toolbar, Context Menu, Status Bar, Zoom Control (AJAX Viewer Only).

   The status bar displays the cursor position, layer name, number of features selected, current map scale, current map window height and width, and command descriptions.

   To customize the contents of the Viewer toolbar and context menu, see Customizing the Viewer Toolbar and Customizing the Context Menu for Basic Layouts.

   If you set up base layers with a set of defined scales for smooth zooming in the AJAX viewer, the zoom control snaps to the specified scales. For more information, see Setting Up Smooth Map Viewing.

4. For Right Pane, do the following:
   • To include a task pane, select the Task Pane checkbox.

     To specify the location of HTML content to display in the task pane, see Setting General Web Layout Properties.

     The task pane contains Home, Back, and Forward buttons and a Tasks menu button.

   • To include a task bar, select the Task Bar checkbox.

     To define the contents in the task bar menu, see Customizing the Task Bar Menu.

   • To customize the buttons on the bar, click Edit Navigation Buttons.

     You can change the name of each button, the tooltip text to display when the cursor is placed over the button, the text that displays in the Viewer status bar (if turned on), and the images to use when the button is enabled or disabled. For more information, see Customizing Task Bar Buttons.

   • For Width (Pixels), specify a width for the right pane.

   The Width and the Task Bar checkbox are unavailable when Task Pane is turned off.
