How to ...

Sub-Layers - Visibility for Marks, Notes and attributes to be displayed for each, tooltips to be
displayed, results to be displayed for queries, and labels to display and their placement.

Attribute/Property - Legend and map display type settings, drawing and display options for
datasets, and grid, contour, clipping settings (Only for attributes).
5. Once you have made the desired option settings, you can save your settings to apply to other datasets or
only when the current dataset is mapped. The following save options are available:

Layer Settings - Save all Layer and Attribute/Property settings for the current dataset only or for all
datasets of the same operation type, such as Grain Harvest.

Sub-Layer Settings - Save the Sub-Layer settings for the current dataset only or for all datasets of
the same operation type.

Spatial Attribute/Property Settings - Either save the Attribute/Property settings only for current
dataset, all datasets of the same operation type, or save both the Layer and Attribute Settings at
the same time.
Example: If you had a field that you were doing variety comparisons in and you wanted to add a tooltip that
displayed a property you had created for Variety, but you only wanted it to display when you were mapping this
particular field. To do this you would add the Variety property to the list of tooltip attributes/properties to be
displayed, click the Save Layer Settings button on the Layer tab, and select Data Selection Default. Now the added
tooltip property will only display when you map the current dataset. If you wanted all the other datasets of the same
operation, Grain Harvest, to get the same tooltip when mapped then you should select Data Type Default as your
save option.
12. Once you have made your all your desired options settings and saves, click the OK or Apply button to
regenerate the current layer in the map with your settings.

a whole load is selected to be deleted in your selection area, all the points in the load will not be deleted.
This is because of load references in the map. To delete a whole load select the load in the Management
