  • Use the Site Explorer multiple document interface (MDI) tabbed window
  • Build stylised and themed layers
  • Compile layers into a map
  • Display attributes defined by scale
  • Create automatic labelling by scale
  • Preview a web layout without publishing
  • Customise menus
  • Embed calls to web pages and scripts
