Configure and display pop-up windows

Pop-up windows contain descriptive information about the features in each layer in the map. A pop-up window displays a header (title) and attribute information based on the columns and rows in your data. Pop-up windows display when you click a feature on the map. You can change the way information is presented in the pop-up window by changing the header and specifying the fields to display.

Some layers from ArcGIS do not support configuring pop-up windows. In these instances, the pop-up windows option will not be available on the layer's context menu.

Click the Show map contents icon to display the Contents pane.
On the Contents pane, click the arrow to the right of the layer for which you want to configure pop-up windows.
Click the On/Off selector next to Pop-ups to turn on pop-up display.
The Configure pop-ups icon appears next to the On/Off selector.
Click the Configure pop-ups icon.
From the Header menu, select the field you want to display as the header (title) of the pop-up window.
Below the Header menu, each field in your data is listed. Select or clear the check box next to each field to specify the information that you want to display in the pop-up window.
Click OK when finished.
When you click a feature on the map, the newly configured pop-up window displays. Click the Zoom to icon on the pop-up window to zoom to the selected feature.
