# Configuring a Layer

The configuration panel for each layer provides tools for configuring general properties, style, labels, tooltips, and filters. The available options vary depending on the layer type: vector or raster.

Icons provide access to each of these sections.

The configurable parameters depend on the data source type:

* Data source properties and Focus mode are available for all data source types.
* You can configure style, labels, tooltips, and filters for layers from vector data sources.
* Only style is configurable for layers from raster data sources.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Configurations made in one language are only displayed in that language in JMap NG applications. If you do not provide content in a language, nothing is displayed in Studio or in JMap NG applications when the interface is set to that language.
