# Managing Layers

## Map layers

You can select background maps and network object layers by using the **Layers**![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787736127538.png)tool. Click **Layers![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787736127538.png)**in from the side bar to view the list of different layers. The available map layers depend on the customer and what has been agreed on previously.

You can expand the lists of **Basemaps** and object layers by clicking the **arrow symbol** next to each row. To collapse them, simply click the arrow again.

### Selecting the basemap

The default map is one of the available maps. You can also select some other map as the **default map,** or you can select the option **Without basemap**, in which case no basemap is displayed. You can also select multiple basemaps at once and customize the **Layer opacity** for them appear simultaneously:

### Network layers

The **N****etwork layers** available for selection are listed under **Network**. You can select **multiple** layers to be shown **at the same time.** If an object layer is not selected, its objects are not displayed on the map and it is therefore not possible, for example, to pick them from the map.

**Note!** You should select, at a minimum, those layers that have objects you want to view or edit.

The object layers available for selection include the network objects (ducts and nodes) and the annotations and reports related to them. In addition, you can choose to have renovations, themes, free objects such as lines and texts, addresses, surveys, and other objects available in the layer selection list to be displayed on the map.

The **checkbox![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1740400482916.png)**on the left of an object’s name indicates whether the object has been selected. You can remove or add any layer by clicking its checkbox. You do not need to refresh the map afterwards as your selections are applied automatically. If you want to activate all layers at once, select the checkbox for the highest layer, for example, **Water** network.

Note!The number of objects visible on the map is proportional to the speed with which the map is refreshed. For this reason, we recommend that you only select the layers you need to view on the map.

### Show in favourites

1. To add a layer to your favourites, click the **Show in favourites** button located next to the layer.

2. You can then browse and enable all your favourite layers from the **Favourites** tab. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1787738424447.png)
