To avoid obstructing valuable information on the map, you can adjust the opacity of a map layer and set the map object icons to automatically scale with the zoom level.

What you should know

Security Desk users cannot change the opacity of a map layer or set a map layer to auto-scale because it can only be done from Config Tool.

Procedure

  1. In the Map designer menu, click Map > Layers.
    A dialog box that lists all available layers for your map opens.
  2. Point to the layer you want to change, and click the cogwheel ().
    The Layers menu in the Map Designer, with multiple layers selected. The settings menu for the Area layer is open, with the opacity of the layer set to 53.
  3. In the widget that opens, drag the Opacity slider until you get the desired effect on the map.
  4. Control when map objects are visible on a map by doing one of the following:
    • Set the Visible from zoom percentages to create a threshold for when a map object layer is visible or hidden from view.

      The Layers menu in the Map Designer, with the Camera layer selected, and the settings menu open.
    • Select the Auto scale option to have the map objects on a given layer automatically scale up or down depending on the zoom distance.
      NOTE: Auto scale is only available on geographic and georeferenced image maps.
  5. Repeat with other layers if necessary.
  6. In the Map designer toolbar, click Save ().
