To access the WMS Table Properties dialog box, on the TABLE tab, in the Maintenance group, click Web Services, and WMS Table Properties.

When you have retrieved data from a Web Map Service you can make changes to it in this dialog box. It is similar to the Open WMS Table dialog box that you used to create the tab FILE. Note that certain elements cannot be changed here. You must return to the Open WMS Table dialog box and make a new map request.

Server URL

Displays Internet address of the selected WMS server.

Servers button

Click this button to display the information pertaining to the selected WMS server.

Details button

Click this button to display the WFS/WMS/WMTS Server Details Dialog Box where you can view information about a WMS server. The information is read-only. To make changes use the Servers button.

WMS Layers

Displays a list of the available layers on this WMS server.

Add button

Highlight a layer in the left pane and click Add to move them to the right pane that holds the layers you wish to display on your map.

Remove button

Highlight a layer in the right pane and click Remove to remove them from the layer list you are building.

Move Up/Down buttons

Highlight a layer in the right pane and click the Move Up/Down buttons as needed to re-order your list.

Style

Displays the default style for the layer. You may change it to another style if you wish. If the map layer is made up of more than one layer from the server, the style list will update to display only those styles common to all layers.

Image Format

Displays the current raster format for the layer. Since MapInfo Pro creates the image on the fly, you can change to a different format here.

Image Background

Displays the current settings for image background transparency and color.

Coordinate Reference System Projection

Displays the current projection for the map layer. Make any changes you need here. Be sure to select any supported projections. If the map layer is made up of more than one layer from the server, the projection list will update to display only those projections common to all layers.

Table Filename

Shows the path and filename for the TAB file that holds the information for this map layer. You cannot change the information from this dialog box. On the HOME tab, in the File group, on the Open list, click Mapping (WMS) to create a new TAB file.

Preferred View

Displays No View. To change the view for this layer, you must click Mapping (WMS) (on the HOME tab, in the File group, on the Open list) and re-create the request.

Navigation Buttons

OK

Updates the TAB file with any changes and makes a new request of the server for the data.
