Pop-ups contain descriptive information about the features in each layer in the map. A pop-up displays a title and attribute information based on the columns and rows in the data. Pop-ups appear when you click a feature on the map. You can change the way information is presented in the pop-up by changing the header and specifying the fields to display.
Pop-ups are turned on by default for all supported layers. You can turn off pop-ups using the options in Layer options . Some ArcGIS layers do not support pop-up configuration; in these cases, pop-ups are not available in the layer options.
