[Showcase of the Groups settings category button in the project settings]
[Showcase of the Groups settings page in the project settings]
This section is used to manage groups for both layers (layer groups) and markers (resource groups). Groups created here are then available throughout the project and can be used to organize layers or markers.
Any changes made in this section are applied in real time to the project. This means that creating, editing, or deleting groups here will immediately affect how layers and markers are organized within the project.
Because this section manages two different types of groups, it is divided into two sub-sections:
1. Layer Groups
This sub-section is used to manage layer groups.
[Showcase of the Layer groups sub-section of the Groups settings section in the project settings]
If left unchanged, only one layer group exists by default — default.
Within this section, you can:
- Create new layer groups
- Delete existing layer groups
- Change the order in which layer groups are displayed on the map
The section is structured into three parts:
- Add Layer group
- "Add Layer Group" textbox
- Add button
- Layer group list
- Layer group list
- Layer group list order management
- Changes administration
