View data in tables

If you’ve added a feature dataset to ArcGIS Maps for Fabric, it likely contains an attribute table that stores the data for the layer. Feature datasets are composed of points, lines, or polygon features. Each table contains rows (features or records) and columns (fields).

You can display an interactive table at the bottom of a map to see information about the features or records in a layer. Seeing a tabular view of the data can be a quick way to analyze information and start making decisions. You can sort and filter the attribute data and hide fields to focus on a specific subset of your data.

You can also access information about each field in the table to understand what the data represents, and get more information about the layer.

Note:

To access ArcGIS Maps for Fabric, you must have a supported ArcGIS organizational account. By signing in with your ArcGIS organizational account, you can access your ArcGIS Online content as well as your organization's content, basemaps, and ArcGIS Living Atlas layers. You cannot access ArcGIS Maps for Fabric with an ArcGIS Public account.

Show a table

Showing tables in ArcGIS Maps for Fabric can be a useful way to see the information associated with the layers in a map. Once you determine what type of data is stored with the features or rasters, you can set up a more focused display of the layer by applying filters if the layer contains data that isn't important to your audience.

Follow these steps to show a table for a feature or image collection-based imagery layer in ArcGIS Maps for Fabric:

  1. In ArcGIS Maps for Fabric, open the map containing the layer, or add the layer directly.

  2. In the Layers Layers pane, click Options Options next to the layer and click Show table Show table.

    The layer's table opens at the bottom of the map.

  3. Click the up arrows in the table header to show more rows, or click the down arrows to show fewer rows.

  4. Do any of the following in the table header to manage the table view:

    • Click Expand Expand to expand the table.

    • Click Collapse Collapse to collapse the table

    • Click Close Close to exit the table view.

View and interact with attributes

You can perform the following table operations in ArcGIS Maps for Fabric:

  • You can view the table's contents and statistics.

  • You can configure fields and save formatting changes to the ArcGIS web map.

Configure fields

You can configure the field or fields you want to display by changing the display name and formatting the field values. These changes will be saved to your ArcGIS web map, but will not reflect in the data you have stored in Microsoft Fabric or ArcGIS Online.

  1. On the Settings toolbar, click Fields Fields.

  2. Select the field you want to configure.

    Tip:

    You can select multiple fields of the same type to configure their formatting at the same time.

    1. Change the Display name of the field.

    2. For number fields (such as population), select the number of Decimal places to display and whether to use a Thousand separator.

      Note:

      Under Thousand separator, select Use locale preference from the drop-down menu to dynamically display thousands separators based on the viewer's locale.

    3. For Date, Date only, and Timestamp offset fields, select a date format from the Date format drop-down menu.

    4. For Date and Timestamp offset fields, turn on the Show time toggle button and select an hour and time format for displaying time.

    5. For a Time only field, select an hour and time format from the drop-down menus.

Note:

To learn more about supported field types, see Date and time fields in [ArcGIS Online].

  1. Click Done.

Explore and manage the data

You can view information about a field, such as the data type and description, and see statistics about the contents of the field. You can also modify and save the field visibility, field order, and data sorting of a layer.

For feature layer tables, you can also select rows in the table and zoom to the location of the extent of all the selected features on the map.

  1. Open the table and view information about the fields by doing one of the following:

    • Select the field (column), click Options Options, and click Information Information.

    • Click Field visibility Field visibility in the table header. The Field visibility window opens. Click Information Information next to the field. To close the Field visibility window and return to the list of fields, you can click the Done button, click Close Close, or click outside of the pop-up window.

    The field name, data type, alias, field description, value description, and statistics appear in a separate pop-up window. The information available for each field depends on values the layer owner has set, and the statistics vary depending on the field's data type.

  2. Optionally, search for a specific field.

    1. Click Field visibility Field visibility in the table header and type a field name in the search box, or click Sort fields Sort fields to change the order in which the fields appear in this window.

      If you type a field name, the list of fields changes as you type.

    2. Check a field or uncheck it to hide it from the table, or you can view the field information.

  3. Do one of the following to sort the records in each field to show the most relevant data first:

    • Click the up up or down down arrow for the field to sort values in ascending or descending order, respectively.

    • Select the field, click Options Options, and click either Sort ascending Sort ascending or Sort descending Sort descending.

  4. To hide fields, do one of the following:

    • Select the field, click Options Options, and click Hide field Hide field to hide one field.

    • Click Field visibility Field visibility in the table header and uncheck the multiple fields that you want to hide. Click Done to close the pop-up window.

  5. Optionally, reorder fields by clicking and dragging a field to a new location in the table.

  6. Save the map to retain field visibility, field order, and data order.

  7. To select rows in the table, check the check box at the start of each row.

  8. To only show the selected rows on the table, click Show selected Show selected. To show all rows again, click Show all Show all

  9. To zoom the map to the extent of the selected features (rows), click Zoom to selection Zoom to selection.

    The map recenters to include all the selected features.

  10. Click Clear selection Clear selection on the table to uncheck all the selected rows.
