Values Table

When using the Unique Values or Range of Values option, you will need to select the field that will be used to assign properties to the layer objects. This can be done automatically, and then you can manually edit the values and properties in the table.

Field Name:When using the Unique Values or Range of Values option, select the field from the layer to use to define the display settings.

Generate Values:Click this after selecting the field name that you want used to assign properties to the layer objects.

Using Unique Values: The table will be populated with all of the values that are found in the layer for this field. It will use the default symbol, line for fill options (depending on the layer type) and then change the color for each individual value.  You can manually change the values in the table after it has been populated, and can add or remove rows.

Using a Range of Values: You can specify the number of intervals to break the data into, and the start and stop color.  It will look the layer for all of the values and then break it into the number of intervals that you have specified. You can manually change the values in table after the intervals have automatically been created, and can add or remove rows.


Add: Add a row after the last column of the table.

Delete: Select a row and remove it from the table. Any data that is removed will follow the assigned behavior of  the Data outside of the ranges setting.
