Settings
Basic |

Tabs |
The tabs at the top of the window correspond to groups of object types - table owners - in the application. Settings for how states should be displayed in the map are performed for each such table owner. To access settings for displaying and coloring states, select one of the tabs at the top of the window. |
|||
State |
Name of the states available for the current application and object type. Application, object type (table owner) and state number for each state are displayed in an info box when you hover over the state name. |
|||
Show |
On the left side of the window, check or uncheck the checkbox next to each state name for objects that have that state to be shown or hidden in active view. Check or uncheck the All checkbox at the bottom to show or hide all states. |

Coloring |
|||
Set color |
On the right side of the window, you can set the state colors to be used in the active view. Which colors different states should be displayed in can be controlled in three ways: |
|||
Product |
(Default option) It is possible to customize a map product so that objects automatically get a different color depending on what state they are at. This type of color management is called Alternate Drawing Attributes and can be customized in the admin tool Administration > Map product > Drawing attributes administration tool. Product colors can be set up and customized for one or more map products used in the application.
|
|||
Base |
It is possible to decide in a configuration file (on the Tomcat server) in which color objects of different states should be drawn in. The difference to Product colors, (alternative drawing attributes) above, is that Base colors apply to all map products in the application. |
|||
User |
Put your own colors on states. Applying custom colors will overwrite any Product and Base Colors set by the administrator.
|
|||
Use |
In the drop-down list on the far right, you can choose which of the three color options Product, Base, User should be used for each state. Select a setting from the bottom drop-down list All to set all states at once. |
Buttons |
|
Reset |
Restore default settings in the current tab: all states will be displayed and use Product colors. |
OK |
Apply settings in all tabs and close the window. |
Cancel |
Cancel and close the window. |
Apply |
Apply settings in the current tab without closing the window. |
