Using the Map Toolbar

The general toolbar for maps has tools that relate to the map itself, without regard to specific transactions. This topic describes these general-purpose tofus.

Note: Use map profiles to configure which tools are available on a map. For information on configuring which tools appear, see Setting Up Map Profiles.
