<QUICK-VIEW-EXTENT>

IMF Developer's Guide » Site Configuration » <QUICK-VIEW-EXTENT>

The <QUICK-VIEW-EXTENT> element is used to specify a named extent that will appear in a drop-down selection box on the status bar for the user to choose from to zoom to the named extent. If <QUICK-VIEW-EXTENT> elements are present in the site configuration XML file, the status bar will show the selection box as follows. If no <quick-view> elements are present, the status bar doesn't show the selection box or prompt.

If you want to use the quick view selection box, you would usually put multiple <QUICK-VIEW-EXTENT> elements in your site configuration XML file, or add the extents programmably using a startup script. The named areas appear in the sequence that they appear in the site configuration file. The coordinates must be in the same coordinate system as your map.
