The Ribbon

When you first start using the ArcGIS Map Web Part, you'll notice that most of the web part's functionality is organized in the ribbon. The ribbon, a key feature of SharePoint 2010 that is leveraged extensively by the web part, is similar to what you see in Microsoft Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

The ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the buttons and menus that you need to complete an operation. Items on the ribbon are organized in logical groups that are collected under tabs. On the ribbon, all the Map Web Part tabs are grouped under the ArcGIS Map Web Part heading.

To show the Map Web Part tabs, the Map Web Part needs to be selected. To select it, click anywhere within the Map Web Part, including the web part's title bar.
