# Managing layers in a project The layers of a project are displayed in the **Layers** section, which may be accessed from the JMap Admin project configuration interface. In the **List** tab, the table shows basic information about each layer of the project. When you click on the name of a layer, a details section displays. The **Hierarchy** tab displays the groups and subgroups with the layers that compose them. The tasks you can perform from this tab are detailed in the [Organizing Layers](https://docs.k2geospatial.com/en2/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/projects/configuring-projects/organizing-layers) section. In the **List** tab of the **Layers** section of a project, you can perform the tasks described in the table. For some tasks, you must select more than one layer.
