Legends are an important part of your map. They describe the content on your map and show the user what colors, symbols, and lines represent.
I recommend giving your layers a friendly name before creating your legend as the friendly name is carried over tot he legend.
Let me show you - and a happy #MapInfoMonday!
Using Friendly Layer Names in your Legend
Here is my initial map of a couple of layers.
The layers use the table name as the layer name. This is the default behavior for layers in MapInfo Pro. This means that spaces are replaced by underscores and sometimes the name is also shortened.
To create a legend window for this map, I go to the Map tab and click on the Legend control from the Add to Map dropdown.
