# Gauge station view

Gauge stations will be displayed on the Map view when a gauge type has been selected via the **View river stations** button.

A gauge selected in the Map view will show a summary of the gauge information (if this setting is checked on in the [Application Settings](/v1/docs/application-settings).) The summary window provides the following options:

| Field in interface | Description |
| --- | --- |
| View full info | Opens the full information of the selected [Gauge station](/v1/docs/gauge-stations) in a new window. |
| Create calculation point | Creates a [Calculation point](/v1/docs/calculation-points-technical-reference) to perform hydrological analysis at this gauge station. This option is only available at NRFA stations with FEH catchment descriptors available and will be greyed out otherwise. |
| Close | Closes the summary window. |

A right-click menu is also available from gauge stations loaded into the Map view. This menu contains the following options:

| Field in interface | Description |
| --- | --- |
| View gauge information | Opens the full information of the selected [Gauge station](/v1/docs/gauge-stations) in a new window. |
| View catchment descriptor information | These options are relevant only when the selected component in the map is an [FEH catchment descriptor](/v1/docs/feh-catchments-technical-reference). |
| Delete catchment descriptor |
| Create calculation point | Creates a [Calculation point](/v1/docs/calculation-points-technical-reference) to perform hydrological analysis at this gauge station. This option is only available at NRFA stations with FEH catchment descriptors available and will be greyed out otherwise. |
| Calculation point properties | These options are relevant only when the selected component in the map is a [Calculation Point](/v1/docs/calculation-points-technical-reference). |
| Delete calculation point |
| Other menu items | The remaining menu items are not specific to FEH catchments. |
