Pop-Up not displaying Field correctly

TimothyKing — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 19:16:36 GMT

I have a ArcMap Document that references a field generated ID that has a photo linked to it. I set the Display to be this ID, but everytime I add the layer file to ArcGIS Explorer a different field is used as the title of the popup. It seems that there is a default setting in the feature class that sets a field as the primary display field. Seems like it should be a simple fix but can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks,

I think I found the answer to the problem I was having. It seems that ArcGIS sets the default label field with a field that has 'name' in the title, then the first text field. In my case the field name is ORIGIN FILE NAME hence it is always set as the default label field. This is supposed to be correctable using a layer file but I am unable to get the field name I want to display even using a layer file.

Oh I am using ArcGIS 10 SP3 ArcView , ArcGIS Explorer build 1750

If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

LTK

Not sure if this will fix your issue but see this post about modifying the xsl style of your layer file: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/57688-Layer-Packages-amp-PDF-s
