Accessing Information Associated With an Object

Some layers have descriptive information associated with layer elements or objects. The information is displayed in interfaces called mouseover bubbles. In addition, if the Documents extension is found on the JMap server and you have the required permissions, a button in the mouseover bubble will allow you to access the documents associated with the object. You can open and view the documents directly on your mobile device.

To display the mouseover bubbles:

1.Touch a layer element whose mouseover bubble you wish to display. The mouseover bubble can contain descriptive data as well as hyperlinks to websites, photos or various documents.

Depending on the scale, when you display the mouseover bubble of an object you touch, you can view the mouseover bubbles of other objects found nearby using the and arrows.
