Configuration Details - Layers

Context

A layer is a visualised geo-spatial dataset that overlays a base map. For the Network Spatial Service, this includes Work Order geometries that you create within the map as well as other datasets (for example, weather patterns, population densities). These datasets can be sourced from public and private sources. Work Order geometries must be configured in a layer to be shown on the map.
