Group Layers

Group Layers

GIS Layers can be grouped under a parent layer in NEXGEN. This applies to both feature and map service.  Grouping layers allows for better organization of layers and also gives the ability to turn groups of layers on or off while using the map in NEXGEN.
​
1. From home screen, click Settings > Integration > GIS.  
2.  Right click on the map dropdown on the left side menu.
3.  To add a new group, click + Add Group .  Note - you cannot delete a group once it is added.  

4. To add existing layers to a group, click and drag the layer to the group. 
5. To add new layers to a group, right click on the group name and click + Add Layer .
