The <layer-manager> element is used to specify a different approach for an IMF site. When the layer manager is used, the site opens up with a blank map, and the layer list page displays an option to add or remove layers from the working map. Layers all appear in the same folder, and can be reordered by the user. This function was developed for the BC Government's iGOAT project but may be of interest to other organizations wishing to use IMF as more of a data browser.

This element is optional, and omitting it results in the standard IMF operation.
