You can configure a layer's menu to include the Layer Style command. This command allows users to modify layer and field symbology to support distinct data visualization.
When a user clicks Layer Style from the layer's menu, the Edit Symbol window opens.
Use the General tab to configure symbology for the entire layer.
Use the Thematic tab to configure symbology based on a specific field.
The table below describes the settings that are available in both the General and Thematic tabs.
