Creating a Label Layer

Here’s how to add labels to your layer:

  1. Click the Options icon to the right of your layer name in the Legend.

  2. Click Create Label in the menu.

  3. Select a Field from the drop-down menu that contains the values you would like to appear on the label(s). In the example to the right, the values of the Neighborhood field are the names of neighborhoods.

  4. Click the OK button. The map displays the label(s), and the Legend displays the label layer.

    Tip: To ensure your labels display properly, make sure the label layer is listed above your corresponding data layer. You can reorder layers in the Legend by dragging and dropping to the desired position.
