Configuring fields in the attribute table

Layers that are rendered on the client populate the attribute table displayed at the bottom of the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight. This includes ArcGIS Server feature layers, Spatial Data Service layers, geoRSS layers, graphics layers, and SharePoint list layers. Each layer can be configured to specify the fields that are included in the attribute table along with their display names.

To configure attribute table fields for a layer, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Configure Layers panel and select the desired layer.
  2. Open the attribute table to view the layer's fields and field names:

  3. Right-click the layer in the Configure Layers panel and click Configure. Click the Table button to open the configuration table flyout:
