# How to Manipulate Map Layers

Manipulating map layers in FieldAgent gives you the ability to see what's happening within a field by updating the colorization of a layer. This article pertains to how to do it with drone imagery.

## FieldAgent Desktop <a href="#fieldagent_desktop" id="fieldagent_desktop"></a>

When it comes to manipulating map layers, there are a few features in FieldAgent Desktop that are not available in FieldAgent Web. See below how to use this functionality in FieldAgent Desktop.&#x20;

1. Open Field View tab, then click Field Boundary, select the survey, and then select the Full Mosaic.
2. Select the NDVI/NDRE Toolbox from the field window.
3. Use the slide bars within the window similar to the functionality in FieldAgent Web, such as Color Map, Bins, Value, Equal Area.
4. To view statistics, select a shape file, then within the Statistics area, select average, minimum, and maximum values.\ <img src="https://img.zohostatic.com/zde/static/images/info.png" alt="" data-size="line"> <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**Note:**</mark> <mark style="background-color:yellow;"></mark><mark style="background-color:yellow;">The statistics numbers may vary due to the numbers within the toolbox reflect the entire field, in the field reflect the statistics within the shape.</mark>

5\. To create a management zone, adjust the Zone Details and Gap Adjustments if necessary, then click the gear icon to generate zones.\
6\. To export the management zones as a shape file, click the Export icon. The file can then be imported into a farm management tool.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.senterasensors.com/home/fieldagent-desktop/field-monitoring/how-to-manipulate-map-layers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
