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).

     Here is the information panel:

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.

     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.
