I Want To Menu

The HTML5 Viewer's default configuration has a menu for common tasks, such as opening the list of map layers and returning to the initial extent. The menu is called the I Want To menu because the default text on the button that opens the menu is "I want to...". In the Desktop and Tablet interfaces, the I Want To button is in the top left corner of the map. In the Handheld interface, the button is at the top left of the screen.

Each menu item is represented by some text and optionally a description and small image. You can modify or remove these items, create new items, and change the order that the items appear in the menu. A menu item can run any Geocortex Viewer for HTML5 command. For a list of commands, see Viewer Commands and Events.
