The second action button of the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Toolbar | Toolbar]] is the '''Static Layers''' menu, which provides access to all the time-independent data to the user. Once the user clicks on the menu, two different views are offered: the '''Tag''' and '''Folder''' mode.
The '''Tag''' mode shows the static data as organized by thematic criteria, i.e. the following categories:

* Exposure
* Basic
* Hazard
* Risk

In the table below the layers of this category are shown according to the assigned tags.

The '''Folder''' mode is currently under construction and Users are kindly asked to use the '''Tag''' mode for the time being.


Every time a layer is pulled on, the application uploads it in the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Control Map | Control Map]] and the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Layer List | Layer List]] (top left of the screen). If the cursor is left on the name of the layer in the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Layer List | Layer List]], the user enables the tooltip function to open two windows:

* the first one at the top right of the screen which shows the metadata of the layers, such as:
: - name of the layer
: - layer description
: - layer type

In the given example, the tooltip displays the available information about the road network.

* the second one is placed immediately to the right of the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Layer List | Layer List]] and shows the layer type.
In the following example, a tooltip appears to the right of the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Layer List | Layer List]] for the road network.

On the left to the name of the layer listed in the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Layer List | Layer List]] users find the trash-can icon by means of which the previously loaded layer can be deleted.
On the right to the layer's name the system offers to the user a set of buttons:

* '''Turn on / Turn off''' visualizes / deletes a previously loaded layer
* '''Zoom to Layer''' allows the user to bring  the zoom  back to the default level for that layer
* '''Legend''' displays the pop-up window showing the legend for the selected layer
* '''Scroll''' offers the user the option to display a set of successive time steps of a given variable within the time range set in the [[GUI_(user_interface)#Display | Display]])
* '''Expand''' allows to display the buttons that activate some additional functions such as:
: - the '''slider''' adjusts the transparency / opacity of each layer
: - the '''download''' button saves to user's own disk any chosen layer, in many formats
: - the '''refresh''' button updates the layer, by loading the latest version from the available
: - the '''metadata''' button that allows the user to view / download the metadata file associated to the layer
