Layer Display Mode - Set this to On or Off and the layer will appear or will be hidden respectively when the map loads. Select Scaled Display and the layer will be hidden based on the Min and Max Zoom Scales.

Permanent Zoom Scale - Activating this would mean a layer can't be unhidden manually from the Layers Panel when outside the Min and Max Zoom Scales. Again, this is only active if you choose Scaled Display previously.


Spacial Activity - You can select what aspects of the layer a user can modify ranging from Read Only to Full Read/Write.
