General tab

On the General tab, you can view and make changes to the general attributes, such as the layer name, whether the layer is read-only and visible, the priority, the resampling method, and any applicable enhancements.

Name
The file name and description of the layer.

The information in the Name box, which you can modify, if necessary, is displayed on the Maps tab.

Read-only
By default, the layer is writable; that is, the Read-only check box is clear.

To make the layer read-only, select the check box.

Layer Enhancement
Displays any enhancement applied to the layer.

An enhancement can be applied by default. For more information about a default enhancement, see Setting a default enhancement.
