In Digital Surveyor’s viewer, the Layers Panel can be found on the left hand side of your browser’s screen. This is where users can interact with a data set’s automated surveys as well as the feature layers for each survey. Any line or object created for a survey project will be listed somewhere on the layers panel.

The naming that a user sees listed will match the Feature Layer Template that was used for the Automated Survey request

The panel can be minimized by clicking on the Collapse Layer Panel icon link in the upper right corner of the panel or via Hot Key [

The layers panel is where users can work with the feature layers in their different automated survey projects. Any survey request that has been run will show up here and be able to be worked with. Users can filter which surveys they would like to have visible for ease of use.

Features of a survey can be sorted to help make them easier for a user to navigate. The options available are:

Under the Filter By menu users are able to hide feature layers based on different attributes. This will temporarily hide the lines or objects from the layer list as well as from the display view.

Here users are able to various commands such as collapse all layer lists or toggle on/off all layers from the display view.

A search box to help find specific layers as an alternative to searching through the entire layer list manually.

In order to place an object, draw a line or use any tool in the bottom toolbar a feature layer needs to be selected and active. Any line drawn or object created will be placed on the active feature layer by default. This can be switched later on once the action is complete.

Double clicking on a layer in the layer panel will make it active. When a layer is active, a user will see it highlighted and a circle will appear next to the name.

When hovering over a layer an eye icon will appear. Users can toggle this to turn the layer off in the display view.

A user can expand any of the layer categories to view and select a single object in them. To the right of each layer name in parenthesis is a total count of how many features are in that layer. In the expanded list, a user can select a single object to bring up the properties menu for it on the right.
