Manage Map Layers dialog

This dialog allows Administrators and System Administrators to manage layers. Layers can be created, edited, deleted, restored and rolled back to a previous version here. Layer history can also be viewed using this dialog.

The dialog is displayed when Manage is selected from the Layers group of the Map tab in the Map Designer.

The dialog displays a list of the available layers. The * indicates that the layer is new or has been locally edited since the application was last published.

Selecting a layer comprises clicking it so it is highlighted in blue in the list.
