Changing the label text (name description) for symbols as opposed to colour shape etc

[SimonCrutchley]

In Map Viewer Classic, when you changed the symbology for a feature (colour, shape, size etc) you could also change the text that went with the symbol. In the new Map Viewer, it's no longer obvious how to do this. If it's like several other changes, there's probably a simple way that just isn't obvious, so if someone to point me to it, I'd be most grateful.

Hi Russ, you should have received an invite.

thanks! looks like its not in the group yet will check when the content is accessible. 

[SimonCrutchley]

Have you done something?

[RussRoberts]

Nothing. The link above the item is not accessible and the group you invited me into does not have any content present.  You will need to share the item to everyone or share it to the group

Well that's weird, because the 'Monitoring' point, which used to be a triangle and had 'Form3' against it is now a basic point with no text?

Anyway, it's time for me to stop today, so i'll look again next week. Thanks for your help.

Hi Russ,

Just thought I'd let you know that I solved it; when it was clear that you hadn't done anything I realised that the point label must have disappeared becasue I tried a select by attributes. Although I didn't want that, just the spatial location, I realised that by setting it once that way, when i reset to spatial location only, the label disappeared. 

Thanks for looking into this for me. 🙂

Hi Simon!
I need to solve the same issue, and I am not really sure how you managed to do it by the end.What do you mean when you said you tried a select by attributes?
Thanks!

I ask because it's now not letting me save it. The little Save and Open tab has the blue dot against it, no matter how many times I select 'Save'
