Enabling the Category Mechanism

When the category mechanism is enabled, users opening the SkylineGlobe Layers dialog in Skyline applications can view category information and filter layers based on category using the category tree. Enabling the category mechanism also makes previously-assigned category information available and allows new categories to be assigned to layers in SGS Manager.

To enable the layer categories mechanism:

From the SkylineGlobe Server menu, select Settings. The Settings page is displayed.

In the General section, select the Enable Categories Mechanism option.

If you want the categories panel to be displayed also for non-logged in users when opening the SkylineGlobe Layers dialog in Skyline applications to load layers from SGS, select Display Categories for Anonymous Users.
