Set and save layer settings
Turn off unnecessary layers
Open the Layer Control Panel on the Map Control Toolbar on the right.

Select the layers you need
You need at least one layer on so you can select the items on the map.
This example shows how to select Parcels-All layer, which is a useful layer.
Step 1 Select the arrow to the left of Parcels.
Step 2 Make sure Live is selected. Untick Approved if necessary.
Step 3 Open the arrow to the left of Live. Make sure Parcels-all is selected.
Step 4 Untick the other options under Live (Hydro, Legalisation, Primary, and down to Tertiary).
Or choose your preferred layers.
Save your layers
Select the Current tab at the top of the layer panel.
Disable the Appellation and Area if you don’t need them by unselecting the icons on their left.
Select Save as default view at the bottom to save your layer settings.
These settings will be in place every time you log in.
