Custom Layers and Styling

Surety® Pro gives you the ability to add your own custom layers to the mapping interface. These custom layers can be unique point, line or polygon data and can be imported into new map layers or added to existing forms. Data can then be added to these custom layers and these custom layers can be styled and labeled.

Importing a Custom Layer

Using the Custom Layer Import tool in Surety® Pro, you can import a custom layer in several formats, most notably Shapefile and KML. These custom layers may be made available at the Company, Location or Client only level. When importing a custom layer, a custom data entry form is created for you based on attributes selected from the imported layer.

Adding New Features

You can add new features to a custom layer with the use of the drawing/select tools and the custom layers data entry form. If you are not importing a custom layer and need a custom data form for data entry, you can request one be created for you.

Customize the Visual Style of your Custom Layer

The Layer Properties provide a lot of control of the visual look of the data on the map itself.

Customize the entire layer's style or use the powerful "Color By" feature to set individual colors and styles based on the data's attributes. Control the label text color, label position and which attributes to display.
