# Configuring Layers The layer configuration interface allows you to access layer information as well as parameter configuration functions such as style, labels, or reports.


1	General information configured when creating the layer. This button provides direct access to the section settings configuration interface.
2	Layer parameters configured when it was created. The hyperlink allows you to access the spatial data source that contains the layer data.
3	Bound attributes. This section presents a list of attributes related to the layer. Click on the name of an attribute to open the configuration window of its properties. This button is used to update the statistics of the attributes.
4	Cache. Information about the layer's Mapbox cache. Indicates whether the cache is enabled, whether a due date is set, the number of cached tiles, and usage metrics. Press to update the cache or press to delete it.
5	JMap Cloud. This section allows the layer to be shared in JMap Cloud platform. Section Sharing a layer with JMap Cloud provides details on this function.
6	Layer visibility thresholds; shows the limits between the minimum and maximum scales for displaying layer elements.
7	Thematics. This section presents the layer's thematics. Click on the name of the thematic to access its configuration interface.
8	Labels. This section presents information on the labels.
9	Mouseover. This section describes the mouseover configured for the layer.
10	Reports. This section presents the reports configured for the layer.
11	Forms. This section presents information about forms configured for the layer. Click on the form name to access its configuration interface.
12	These buttons allow you to edit the layer configuration or delete it.
13	The menu provides access to the sections General, Permissions, Style, Thematics, Labels, Mouseover, Forms and Reports. This menu also provides access to the configuration interfaces of JMap extensions which require the configuration of parameters at the layer level.

The raster layer configuration interface contains the **General information**, **Layer parameters**, and **Visibility thresholds** sections. ## Attributes The Attribute configuration window contains three tabs: **Metadata**, **Statistics**, and **Attribute sample**.


Metadata
Type	Indicates the type of data for the attribute.
SQL Type	Indicates the SQL type of the data for the attribute.
Indexed	Check this box to have the attribute indexed.
Title	You can change the title of the attribute. This icon allows you to provide the title in multiple languages.
Format pattern	Specify a format pattern for displaying SDS items. The pattern must follow Java standards. For more details on this topic, read the following article: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/decimalFormat.html.

The **Statistics** tab provides simple statistics about the attribute. The **Attribute sample** tab displays the value of the attribute for a sample of layer elements. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
