# Configuring a Layer

Each layer's configuration panel provides tools to define general properties, styling, labels, and tooltips. The available options vary depending on the type of layer—vector or raster.

Icons allow you to access each of these sections.

The settings to configure depend on the data source type. The SD properties and focus mode are available for all data source types. You can configure the style, labels, tooltips, and filters for layers from vector data sources. Only the style is configurable for layers from raster data sources.
