Configurepopups
In theprevious lesson, you worked with many different layer properties. An
important layer property that you haven't worked with is popup
configuration. In the first lesson, the popups for the Volcanoes and Lava
Flow Hazard Zones layers were prepared for you. In this lesson, you'll see
how those configurations were done. You'll start, however, by working on
the popups for the Emergency Shelters layer.

If necessary, sign in to yourArcGIS organization account.
Go to your My Content page and open your Hawaii Island Lava

Flow Hazard Zones map in the map viewer.
Click a shelter to open its popup.
The basic configuration of a popup is just what you see: a list of

https://learn.arcgis.com/en/projects/getstartedwitharcgisonline/lessons/configurepopups/
1/13

fields and values. The information should be familiar to you

because it comes straight from the CSV file except for the FID
field, a softwareadded identification code. Most popups are
essentially stylized views of a table of attributes associated with a
layer.
In this case, the default configuration has a few minor problems.
For example, the shelter name appears twice: first as the popup
title, and again in the list of fields. Also, it's probably unnecessary
to show the state nameanyone using the map will know that this
is Hawaii. It's definitely unnecessary to show the FID field.
Close the popup.
In the Contents pane, point to the Emergency Shelters layer. Click

the More Options button and choose Configure Popup.
The default popup title is a field name, usually the NAME field, in
curly brackets. Field names in curly brackets work like variables:
when you click a shelter on the map, you see the name of that
particular shelter.
Under the Popup Contents heading, the display is set to a list of

field attributes. This setting defines the list format that you saw in
the popup.
Under the list of attributes, click Configure Attributes.

In the Configure Attributes window, attributes are listed by their

display status on or off, field name, and field alias.
In the Display column, uncheck the box for the {NAME} field.
Uncheck the Display boxes for the {STATE} and {FID} fields as well.
You need to scroll down slightly to see {FID}.
Click OK.
At the bottom of the Configure Popup pane, click Save Popup.
Click an emergency shelter on the map to see its new popup.

The fields that you unchecked in the Configure Attributes window

no longer display in the popup.
Close the popup.

Tip
The popup configuration has been saved

only to this map. To make it the default
configuration, you would open the
properties of the Emergency Shelters layer
and choose Save Layer. The layer would
then have this configuration whenever it
was added to a map.

You'll look again at popups for the other layers in the map.
Click a lava flow hazard zone on the map to open its popup.

The popups for this layer are configured just as they were in the
map you explored in the first lesson. The layer owner has saved
this configuration as a default property of the layer. You don't
need to do anything with it.
Click a highway.
Popups for the Highways layer have been turned off. You can
open popups for lava flow hazard zones underneath highways,
but not for highways themselves.
In the Contents pane, point to the Highways layer. Click the More
Options button and choose Enable Popup.
Click a highway again.

The popup isn't nicely configured. You could spend some time
improving it, but it's not necessary. Map layers that are used for
general reference or background may be better off without pop
ups.
Close the popup.
In the Contents pane, point to the Highways layer. Click the More
Options button and choose Remove Popup.
Click a volcano feature on the map to open its popup.
The Volcanoes layer doesn't have the same nice configuration you

12/01/2016
saw in the first lesson. That configuration was saved in the map,
but it was not saved as a default property of the layer. So now you
see the more typical list of fields and values. It will take some
effort on your part to make the popup look good again.
With the Emergency Shelters layer, you saw that the information in
the popup came directly from the CSV file. The same is true for
other layers: their popups are formatted presentations of table
data.
In the Contents pane, point to the Volcanoes layer and click the
Show Table button.
The information in the table matches the information in the pop

up.
In the table, two of the fields have URLs as values. URLs enable
popups to display images and other web resources. In the default
popup configuration, these URLs are represented by More info
links.
Close the popup.
Close the table by clicking the X in the upper right corner.

Configurevolcanopopups
Configuring popups is the process of specifying which information from
a layer's table is shown in the popup and how that information is
displayed. Part of this process involves formatting attribute names and
values. Part of it involves choosing a popup style: information can
appear in a list, for example, or in a customized paragraph form. The final
part involves enhancing the popup with images, charts, and links.
In the Contents pane, point to the Volcanoes layer. Click the More
Options button and choose Configure Popup.
In the Popup Title box, delete the text up to the {NAME} field.
The title will now show only the volcano name, not the layer name
as well.
Under Popup Contents, keep the display set to a list of field

attributes. Below the list of attributes, click Configure Attributes.
In the Configure Attributes window, uncheck the Display boxes for

the following fields:
{NAME}
8/13
12/01/2016
{VolcanoPicture}
{VolcanoThumb}
{PhotoCredit}
The {NAME} field doesn't need to be displayed because it's already
used in the popup title. The other three fields will be used in the
Popup Media section. Only the {ELEVATION}, {TYPE}, and
{Last_eruption} fields should be checked to display.
In the Field Alias column, click ELEVATION to make the text

editable. Replace it withElevation m.
On the right side of the window, change the Format to 0 decimal

places.
An alias is a display name that replaces the field name in the pop
up. By default, the alias and field names match, but you can
change the alias to something more informative or familiar. In this
example, the parenthetical "m" means that the values are in
meters. This may not be selfexplanatory, and you can use a more
descriptive alias if you want.

12/01/2016
In the Field Alias column, click TYPE. Replace it withTypeand

press Enter.
Again in the Field Alias column, scroll down and click

Last_eruption. Replace it withLast eruptionand press Enter.
Changing case and replacing underscores with spaces are small

improvements to the popup display.
Click OK.
Now you'll configure the thumbnail image to display in the pop
up window and link to the large captioned image.
In the Configure Popup pane, under Popup Media, click Add and
choose Image.
In the Configure Image window, delete the default title Image 1.

TypePhoto:in its place, and press the spacebar.
To the right of the Title box, click the Add Field Name button. In
the list of fields, scroll down and choose PhotoCredit
{PhotoCredit}.
Remember that field names work like variables. In the media part
of each popup, the correct photographer's name will appear.
Note
When you use the Add Field Name

button, the list shows both the field name
and its alias. When these are the same, as
they are by default, you see entries such
as "PhotoCredit {PhotoCredit}."
In the Caption box, typeClick image to learn more.
To the right of the URL box, click the Add Field Name button. In
the list of fields, scroll down and choose Volcano_Thumb
{Volcano_Thumb}.
The URL box must contain paths to images that are stored on a
publiclyaccessible server, such as your account on a photo
sharing site. These images will be displayed in the popup and,
when clicked, will open the items referenced in the Link box.
11/13
12/01/2016
To the right of the Link box, click the Add Field Name button.
Scroll down and choose VolcanoPicture {VolcanoPicture}.
Unlike the URL box, the Link box doesn't have to reference images,
although it does in this case. It can go to web pages, PDFs, or any
resource with a URL.
Click OK.
At the bottom of the Configure Popup pane, click Save Popup.
Click a volcano on the map.
12/13
12/01/2016
The popup reflects your configuration. Some text formatting,

along with the horizontal separator lines, is applied automatically.
Click the thumbnail image to test the link, and then close the
browser tab or window with the large picture.
Open popups for some other volcanoes.
When youre finished, close any browser tabs or windows with

large volcano pictures. Close the open popup on the map.
On the ribbon, click the Bookmarks button and click the Island of
Hawaii bookmark. Or click the Default extent button on the map
navigator.
Save the map.
Your map is complete. In thenext lesson, you'll publish it as a web

mapping app. A web app allows you to customize the appearance and
functionality of your map to create an elegant user experience.
