This is an archive related to a previous version of Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects. If you need the current version go to http://doc.arcgis.com/en/maps-for-sap-bobj/.
You can configure the transparency of each layer in the map. This allows you to see more or less of certain layers so that you can emphasize specific data. Transparency can be configured for all layers, excluding the basemap, regardless of the layer's data source.
