# The Layers Panel The **Layers** panel contains the details of the project's layers and tools for different functions such as controlling the display or making the elements of a layer selectable. 1. Click on img to open the **Layers** panel. The icon changes color img.
Within a project, groups of layers appear in the panel in the form of cards. A group can be opened to display its subgroups and layers, or it can be closed to show only its name. 2. Click on img in the card of a group to open it. The subgroups and layers it contains will be displayed. Each subgroup and layer has a card that presents different functions and details of the subgroup or layer. A subgroup is displayed using the img icon, and a layer is displayed using an icon representing its style. 3. Click on img to open the subgroup card and display the layers it contains. The icon changes to img, indicating that the subgroup has been deployed. 4. Click on img to close the subgroup card. 5. Click on img to close the group of layers card. 6. Pass the mouse over a layer to display the available tools. [The card of a layer](file:///Applications/Typora.app/Contents/Resources/TypeMark/index.html#the-card-of-a-layer) section offers details on these tools. 7. Select a base map from the BASE MAP group. The name of the selected map is displayed with the name of the group.
The base map attributions display at the bottom of the map.
## Filtering layers To speed up the identification of the layers that interest you, you can apply a filter. 1. Click on img to open the function **Layer filters**.
2. Enter characters in the range **Layer Name** to filter the layers based on their name. 3. Click on img to open the **Add a filter** card. 4. Select the attribute from the **Filter by** list, the operator from the **Operator** list, and the value by which you want to filter the layers. 5. Click **Add**. The filter is displayed in the **Layer filters** box. Only the layers that pass the filter are displayed in the **Layers** panel.
6. Click on img to apply the filter to the map. Only the layers which pass the filter and whose display is activated are displayed in the map.
7. Click on img to remove the layer filter. The layers appear in the **Layers** panel. You must turn on the display of layers to view them in the map. --- # 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.
