Identifying Features

The Identify tool displays attribute information for the features that you click. If you were looking at a map of the world with country and city layers and clicked one of the cities, the Identify tool would display attribute information for that city. The Identify All tool is similar except that when you click on one of the cities, you also get information on the country that city is located in.

1. Make a layer active in the layer list.

2. Click the Identify button on the toolbar.

3. Click a feature on the map.

4. The Identify Results dialog box appears, displaying attribute information for the feature that you clicked.
