Overview of identifying features

The Identify tool lets you view attribute information for a particular feature. Once a layer is selected for the Identify tool, make the Identify tool active and tap the feature, and the Feature Properties dialog box is displayed. By default, the Feature Properties dialog box includes pages for Attributes, Picture, Symbology, and Geography. If a custom form exists for the feature, it will be displayed. You cannot edit your data using the Identify tool; you can only view it.

Tip:

Selecting layers for the Identify tool: Tap the Identify button on the Layers page in the Table of Contents to activate all layers. Tap again to deactivate all layers.
