==Display Overwrite==
Progressing left to right, the next display (highlighted in red below), displays the type of content in the table (points, lines, regions or gridded). By clicking on the greyed out symbol a style override can be added for this object type. For example all lines, can be set to a thick red line to make these more visible. This is a display change only, to permanently change the style, the table will need to be made editable, all objects selected and the style changed. The style override function can also be accessed, by right clicking on the table and selecting ''Layer Properties''.

==Editable==
To the immediate right of the table name, is the editable toggle (see image below). Only one table can be editable at any given time. For more details on editing a MapInfo table, please see [[MI_Table_Editing | editing a MapInfo Table]].

==Selectable==
Continuing the progression from left to right, the next check box, toggles whether the table is ''Selectable'' or not. At times, it is beneficial for a table to be visible but not selectable, for example when digitising materials, it maybe useful to see the code (active model area) polygon. This can avoid spending time digitising the land use outside the model area, however you may not want to inadvertently snap to the model boundary.<br>
Making a table editable will also make the layer selectable.<br>

==Labelled==▼
The final check box toggles labelling on and off for the layer, this button is highlighted in the image below. The label properties and style can be controlled by right-clicking on the table and selecting ''Layer Properties''. The labelling options are contained in the ''Label Display'' and ''Labelling Rules'' tabs. See also the page on <u>[[MI_Label_Format_Number | changing the label format]]</u>.<br>
