Display Sites in Metadata Cache Database #7

If we could display site locations in the metadata cache database, we'd have a visual reference for what metadata we've harvested. This would be especially useful if people start sharing metadata cache databases.

I lean towards option 2 because local cache search is distinct from HIS Central search. With option 2, the local cache sites don't show up in the map unless a user knows what they're doing and clicks to work with the local cache.

How would you like to add this option to the GUI?

option 1) After opening a project, if the metadata cache db has a registered service, automatically display sites in the map under the Metadata Cache Sites map group

option 2) In Metadata Fetcher in Service Management -- add a check box menu Show Sites In Map. Only when user checks this checkbox in the menu, the sites belonging to the selected services are shown in the map.
