This option is present for legacy support of WebMap7.1, if using the standard Cadcorp SIS WebMap site this parameter can be ignored.

Transition Effect

This is set by default to resize; this means when the map is zoomed, the tile is resized to give the effect it has been zoomed immediately.

The actual tile is then drawn on top of the resized one as it becomes available.

Include in Layer Tree

Optional

This parameter is only applicable if you intend to access the mobile site. Unlike the desktop site, the mobile site does not have a base layer selector. Enabling this option adds the base layer to the Map Features dialog allowing you to switch between base maps.

When this option is enabled, the layer does not appear in the Map Features dialog of the desktop site.

Choose from a predefined list of SRID numbers to define what projection the data will be drawn in. More SRID numbers can be added in the Projections table of the webMapLayersConfig.db.
