# Use the Info Panel on the viewer

## The information panel allows you to view a large amount of data related to your point, polygon or line, and even images or hyperlinks.

     The **Information** panel is used to access information on the map features that intersect with a specific point on the map and display the coordinates. This information is displayed once you click on the map with the **Info** tool from the Map Toolbar (these two icons).

### Choose the available information

     You need to define what **information** **will be available** in this panel when you create your map in the **CartoVista Publisher**.

    To learn more, [click here](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/manage-interactivity?hsLang=en#info-view).

### Group your data

     You can also **group** your information so that it is in the same category in the information panel. This must be defined in the **CartoVista Publisher**.

     To learn more, [click here](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/group-your-data-for-your-visualization?hsLang=en).

### Add images

    Finally, you can add **images** to the information panel. This must be defined in the **CartoVista Publisher**.

![carousel-2](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/carousel-2.png?width=688&name=carousel-2.png)

![carousel-1](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/carousel-1.png?width=688&name=carousel-1.png)

     To learn more, [click here](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/image-carousel-available-in-the-information-panel?hsLang=en).

### Time-based information

The info tool allows you to see the aggregated information as well as the individual time records for each feature.

The **aggregated information** will be displayed first. You can see the aggregation method in brackets for each data.

The gray area shows the **individual values** for each time record. You can navigate through the different records using the arrows in the top right-hand corner of the gray area.

### List view and Description view

#### List of features:

     The info tool results are displayed as a list of items where each layer and individual map features are identified.

![info-list](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/info-list.png?width=353&name=info-list.png)

     This panel provides the following information:

- The **name of each layer** is preceded by an icon identifying the layer geometry type (point, polyline, polygon) and is followed by the number of map features at this specific point on the map.
- An **overview** of the style is shown next to each map feature listed.

#### Description of each map feature

     When clicking on one of the items listed, the information panel displays details about that **specific map feature.**

### Coordinates

     The **coordinates** can also be displayed in the information panel. The coordinates will be displayed wherever you click on the map, whether there is a map feature at that location or not.
