• Custom Layer Name: This is the name that will show in the legend of the map.

• Placeholder: This is the text that appears in the map search field when the layer is selected for searching.

• Layer Settings
  

  • Main Layer: The main layer is the layer on which all other layers are drawn. There can only be one main layer, and it always appears in the legend at the bottom of the layer list.

  • Visible: This controls whether the layer is drawn by default when the map loads.

  • Custom Field Names: These will be the display names in the parcel card.

  • Key Field: This is how you denote which field is used as the key to tie it to parcel records in your system. Only one key field should be marked.

  • Key Field Name: This is almost always parcel_num. It connects the layer key field to the parcel ID in the parcel record.

  • Search Fields: These fields can be searched using the search bar in the upper right corner. Good search fields should be somewhat unique to return useful results. Examples include parcel ID, address number, and street name.
