Specifying Layer Group Settings

You can rename a group and add it to another group. You can also set the default display status for the group and whether the group is included in the legend. If the group is to be included in the legend, you can assign a legend label and display status.

To specify layer group settings

1. In the Layers pane, click the Layers By Group tab. Then click a layer group.
2. Optionally, enter a new name for the layer group.
3. To add the layer group to another layer group, click the group name under Parent Group.

   You can also drag the layer group into the desired group on the Layers By Group tab.

4. To specify that the layer group is visible when first displayed in the Viewer, click Group Is Initially Displayed In The Map.

   The actual visibility of the layer group depends on the user’s zoom position.

5. To adjust legend settings for the selected layer group, do the following:
   • To show the layer group name in the legend when the map is displayed in the Viewer, click Group Is Visible In The Legend.
   • Under Legend Label, enter a name for the layer group.

     This name is used for the layer group in the legend when the map is displayed in the Viewer.

   • To show the layers in the group when the map is first displayed in the Viewer, click Group Is Initially Expanded In The Legend.
