# Configuring Layers The layer configuration interface allows you to access layer information as well as parameter configuration functions such as style, labels, or reports. Tabs also provide access to the same functions.


1	General information configured when creating the layer. This button provides direct access to the section settings configuration interface.
2	Layer parameters configured when it was created. The hyperlink allows you to access the spatial data source that contains the layer data.
3	Bound attributes This section presents a list of attributes related to the layer. Click on the name of an attribute to open the configuration window of its properties. This button is used to update the statistics of the attributes.
4	Cache Information about the layer's Mapbox cache. Indicates whether the cache is enabled, whether a due date is set, the number of cached tiles, and usage metrics. Press to update the cache or press to delete it.
5	JMap Cloud This section allows the layer to be shared in JMap Cloud platform. Section Sharing a layer with JMap Cloud provides details on this function.
6	Layer visibility thresholds; shows the limits between the minimum and maximum scales for displaying layer elements.
7	Thematics This section presents the layer's thematics. Click on the name of the thematic to access its configuration interface.
8	Labels This section presents information on the labels.
9	Mouseover This section describes the mouseover configured for the layer.
10	Reports This section presents the reports configured for the layer.

13	Tabs provide access to the sections General, Permissions, Style, Thematics, Labels, Mouseover, Forms, Reports and Dynamic filters. The JMap extensions which require the configuration of parameters at the layer level add tabs.

The raster layer configuration interface contains the **General information**, **Layer parameters**, **JMap Cloud** and **Visibility thresholds** sections and **General** and **Style** tabs. ## Attributes The Attribute configuration window contains three tabs: **Metadata**, **Statistics**, and **Attribute sample**.


Metadata
Type	Indicates the type of data for the attribute.
SQL Type	Indicates the SQL type of the data for the attribute.
Indexed	Check this box to have the attribute indexed.
Title	You can change the title of the attribute. This icon allows you to provide the title in multiple languages.
Format pattern	Specify a format pattern for displaying SDS items. The pattern must follow Java standards. For more details on this topic, read the following article: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/decimalFormat.html.

The **Statistics** tab provides simple statistics about the attribute. The **Attribute sample** tab displays the value of the attribute for a sample of layer elements.
