Configure pop-ups

Overview

You will learn: how to style pop-ups to show information about layer in a web map.

The Map Viewer can easily style pop-ups for each layer. You can change fields, format data, add or remove information, or add charts, images or URL links. These settings are stored with the saved map and is accessible by any clients' apps that reference the map.

In this tutorial you will style the pop-up to show the most relevant data fields and values when users click on features.
