A unique function of the map layers, is that once you have selected a type of data to map in
one of the available layer slots, SMS Mobile will automatically keep track of what type of
data you selected for the current operating mode. When you switch to a different field to
collect/edit data, SMS Mobile will automatically try and find the same type of data for the
field and display it for you so that you don’t have to reselect data you want to see each time
you switch fields, create new datasets, or open and close SMS Mobile.
In addition to selecting layers to display, you also have a large number of options in terms of
how the selected layers are displayed on the map. Each layer selected has a Settings button
that when selected allows you to set parameters for how the layer is drawn on the map.
Examples include if a label should be displayed and how, what attribute should be used for a
legend for the layer and how it looks, and lastly, settings for the display of sub-layers such as
Marks and Buffers.
To get to the layer selection and settings for your map layers when you are in an operating
mode you can either press the Select Layers button on the Map Toolbar
or you can
open the Main Menu, then Map, and then Select Layers.
