(This is only available for Managers )

  1. Go to the Resource Lists menu on the Settings page
  2. Add the Name, Description and click Create
  3. Once created, you can also edit or delete map layers
  4. On the dashboard, display/hide each layer by checking/unchecking the box

Open Weather Map now available in map layers

A set of climate map overlays are available to be used on the dashboard providing additional information to help manage operations and monitoring.

To activate Weather Maps:

  1. Go to the Dashboard Settings and switch the Weather Maps to On
  2. On the Dashboard, display/hide the weather layers by checking/unchecking the box for each
  3. A legend will be shown for weather layers currently displayed
