Labeling Notes in the map | Feedback E-mail this topic Print this topic

The title associated with a note is, by default, displayed as a tip when you hover over the note. For point notes, you can change the display of the title to be shown as a label, a tip or not to show either a label or a tip (None). For all other note types, you can change tips to be displayed (Map Tips) or not displayed (None). To change how the title is displayed for all note types, select the note(s), use the controls in the Appearance tab's Symbols groups to modify the Label setting. An alternative to the Appearance tab is to right-click the note in the Contents window or on the map when you see its title. In the context menu that appears in both cases, select Label and click one of the options that appear.

If multiple notes are selected, you can change the way all titles are displayed only if all the notes are of the same type. For example, if all notes are points you can change the title to not be displayed by selecting the None option. If the note types differ, for example, you have point and line notes selected, the labeling option will be disabled.

Note: If you choose to display Labels for multiple point notes, ArcGIS Explorer displays the labels that do not overlap with surrounding labels. Surrounding labels will change to display the title as a tip for easy identification until the zoom level is changed to a point where no other labels intersect it.
