Identify tool

You can identify the attributes that are associated with a map feature by using the Identify tool.

The Identify tool identifies features on all layers of the map, including layers that are not visible in the current zoom level. When you identify a feature, the Identify window opens and lists features at that position on the map. If there is more than one feature at that position on the map, all features are listed in the window. The window displays all the attributes that are associated with the selected feature in the list. If the feature is linked to an application record, the details include the unique identifier of the application record.

To view additional information about the features, you can select the Learn more about this feature menu.

You can use the Identify window to add the selected feature to the Results window. If the feature is linked to an application record, you can use the window to set the record as the current record in the current application.

The Identify tool is in the map toolbar on the Map tab and in map windows.
