Using Layer Actions
This section describes the operations, or actions, that you can perform on layers. To perform a layer action, click the layer's name or its down arrow ( 
) in the Layer List and select the action from the menu (Figure 1). The particular actions that are available for a layer depend on the settings for that layer.

Zoom to Visible Scale
The Zoom to Visible Scale action allows you to zoom directly to a scale at which the layer is visible. Use this action when you want to view a layer that is not available at the current scale.

Zoom to Full Extent
The Zoom to Full Extent layer action zooms directly to the extent that is just large enough to show all the layer's features. Note that this is different from the Zoom to Full Extent tool in the Navigation Toolbox, which zooms out as far as possible.

Show/Hide Labels
The Show Labels layer action displays a visible layer's labels. For example, selecting Show Labels for the Dark Parcel Lines layer displays the map and lot numbers on the map. When you show a layer's labels, the layer action changes to Hide Labels, which allows you to turn the labels off again.

Export Layer Data
The Export to CSV action exports layer data to a Comma Separated Values file, which can then be opened in a program such as Microsoft Excel. The site administrator configures which data are available for export.
