Information report
This tool opens an information report related to the map elements. Reports display descriptive data pertaining to the pointed elements. They are defined by the JMap administrator. Enable the tool and click on one of the map's elements. If several elements of one or more layers are pointed, several reports will be available in the same window, but only one can be viewed at a time.

Mouseover
Mouseover bubbles contain information on map elements. They are automatically displayed when the mouse pointer remains on the elements of certain layers.

Mouseover bubbles can be used to display HTML content and images.

You can select and copy the contents of a mouseover bubble by clicking on the icon located in its upper left corner and pasting it in another document (Word, Excel, etc.) using the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V keyboard shortcuts.
The bubble can be displayed persistently.
You can also adjust the delay before the mouseover bubbles appear, according to your preferences (refer to the Application Settings section).
