Content Space
Content
In Content, the contents / map layers available in the map application are listed. The individual map layers can provide various other actions. These include further information, styles, viewpoints and much more.
| In the basic user interactions the individual interactions that are available in the content window are listed and explained further. |
Interactive Rendering Order
The Interactive Rendering Order feature allows users to manually change the rendering order of active 2D layers in the map application. This enables flexible, temporary adjustments to the visual stacking of layers without affecting the permanent layer configuration.
When the user clicks the icon located next to the search field in the Content window, Rendering order window opens. This window lists all active layers that can be reordered by simply dragging and dropping them within the list.
The layers at the bottom of the list will be rendered on top of the layers above them. Grouped layers can only be rearranged within their group. Active 3D layers also appear in the list, but their display order is determined by their geometry and rendering settings and cannot be changed using this feature.
| All changes made in the Rendering order window are temporary and will be reset when the page is refreshed. |
| The Interactive Rendering Order is a helpful tool to quickly resolve temporary visualization conflicts, especially when working with overlapping 2D layers. |
List view
The list view feature allows you to display all active features from a layer in a movable, searchable list window within the VC Map application. It provides quick access to feature attributes and map navigation directly from the feature list.
For layers that are enabled for list view, the feature can be accessed via the 
located next to the layer name in the Content window.
| If enabled for list view, the list may display only features that are visible in the current map view. The behavior depends on the configuration of the individual VC Map app. |
When a search filter is applied, the list view shows only the matching features. The example below demonstrates this functionality.

My Workspace
In My Workspace, objects created by the user in the map are listed and managed. This includes drawn geometry objects like polygons, lines, points or even texts. (More objects will be added in the course of further developments).
The My Workspace window opens when the icon is being activated in the upper left corner of the map application.
Through the workspace, one can interact with the objects individually or as a group. Among other things, renaming, selecting, showing, hiding or zooming to individual objects, and downloads are possible:
Workspace interaction options:

Legend
Provides a legend for a layer of the VC Map, either via style or service. The legend of the corresponding layer will be displayed once the layer is activated in the application.
| The legend window is movable. If it is undocked, moved, and then closed, it will open again at the exact location specified by the user once reactivated. If the window is docked again, it opens at the default position in the upper right corner. More about the basic behavior can be found at user interactions. |
