The Open Attribute Table command, available by right-clicking on a GIS layer, opens up a spreadsheet dialog that shows all of the attribute names (as columns) and the values associated with each feature in the layer (as rows). Tables cannot be edited within WMS; this is only a way to explore and discover the nature of the database associated with the GIS layer. It is important to understand both the names of attribute fields and feature values in order to better understand how the data might be mapped to feature objects in a map coverage.
