To edit a WMS layer:
Layer Info Tab
The Layer Info tab displays details for the layer where you can make changes.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | A display name for the WMS layer. |
| Keywords | Words or phrases that describe your WMS layer. This information can be used by GetCapabilities. |
| Abstract | A description of the WMS layer. Edit the Abstract to describe what type of features or content the layer provides. This information can be used by GetCapabilities. |
| GetMap |
If enabled, then you may specify a name on this layer. This allows you to reference this layer in a GetMap or GetFeatureInfo request. |
| Name | The name of the layer that WMS uses in the GetMap request. If the layer is only listed for organizational purposes then no name is needed. |
| Override bounding box | If absolutely necessary, you can override the calculated values for the layer by entering different minimum and maximum values for X (longitude) and Y (latitude). |
| GetFeatureInfo | GetFeatureInfo returns request information for a feature at a given point on the map after a GetMap has been called. If enabled, the server supports the GetFeatureInfo operation on that layer. This will be grayed out and uneditable if GetFeatureInfo is disabled on the WMS Settings page. |
| Pixel Search Radius | The pixel value used in a GetFeatureInfo request to search for information, if GetFeatureInfo is enabled. This can also be set at the WMS layer level, in a request using the parameter PIXELSEARCHRADIUS, or both. If specified in both the layer and service levels, the layer level value will override the service level value. If specified in the request, it overrides both the layer and service level values. If not specified at either the service or layer level or in the request, the value will default to what is set in the global settings on the WMS Settings page. |
| Reference Layers |
One or more named layers or named tables that this WMS Layer
references. A WMS layer must have at least one reference
layer. Click Add to add a reference

| Coordinate Systems |
List of the coordinate systems used by the layer. Every layer
needs at least one coordinate system either explicitly
listed or inherited from a parent. Hover over the

| Styles |
Expand to view a list of available styles for this layer. Any
number of styles may be defined for a layer. Each style must

| Resource Name | The absolute path of the named style within the repository
root that the style points to. All resource paths must start

style. |
| Title | A display name for the WMS style. |
| Name | The name of the style that WMS uses in the GetMap request. If the style is only listed for organizational purposes then no name is needed. |

to delete one. For a named
table, you have the option to select a default style when
rendering the table, which will be overridden by any WMS
style that is applied. Drag and drop to reorder the layers
so they appear as desired on a map.
