Working with Workspaces

The Active Workspace defines the layers available to you during your current session. You can choose a different set of layers, or create an alternative combination of layers using this Workspace feature.

    1. The 1map Layers tab shows the Standard Layers available within 1map,

  3. Select layers from the Available Layers list on the left and move them to the Current Workspace Layers list on the right by dragging them, or clicking on the right arrow between the two lists.

Take note: Workspaces automatically revert back to their last saved state when you log out or select a different workspace. To keep any changes that you have made to your workspace, you must save the workspace.
