The MAP Attributes panel displays the map attribute and property attribute records for a map layer, which are
linked to the graphic elements of the map and makes them available for editing. This panel is also the hub from
which you can edit column schemas, toggle visibility, add or delete columns, join tables, find and replace attributes,
and apply expressions to selected art. Only the visible attributes of selected map features will be displayed in the
dialog box.
USING THE MAP ATTRIBUTES PANEL
Viewing Attributes
Selected features are sorted by layer. The Layer drop-down list shows all the layers that currently have features
selected, as well as the number of selected map objects for each layer (also reported at the base of the panel). The
attribute values displayed in columns in the MAP Attributes panel can be sorted in ascending or descending order
by clicking the column header. The widths of the columns may be changed by clicking the column separator and
manually dragging it to resize as desired. Use the recordset navigation controls to scroll through table entries.
