Improve online documentation with regards to layer id's

While the documentation for WF Activities that use Layer Id as input (Query layer, Get/Set Layer Definition Expression, etc.) mentions that: “you can either set Layer Id to the ID from the layer object or to the layer name from the web map” when working with other VertiGIS Studio applications based on the 4.x API of JavaScript, we see that a lot of new users (many of them migrating from GE) struggle with getting the Layer Id right.

Layer Id often is confused with map service (layer)ID, which is not the same (as mentioned in an old Ideas post here). The documentation could explicitly clarify that the layer id can unmistakenly be retrieved from the Web Map's json. I believe that this addition could improve the online documentation.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best regards,
