Searching for SkylineGlobe Layers

When the category mechanism is enabled in SkylineGlobe Server Manager for your site, a category tree displays on the SkylineGlobe Layers page, by which layers can easily be filtered according to their assigned category. When a category in the category tree is selected, the layer list is filtered to only show layers in this category. See the SkylineGlobe Server User Guide for more information.
