Some layers support advanced queries, which allow for filtering or searching layer features based on particular attributes and/or area. This functionality is not available for Remote Layers. There are two ways of conducting an advanced query: through the layer filter menu or through the attribute table.
Option 1: Layer Filter Menu
- In the map tool, select the desired layer in the layer menu so that it is highlighted in blue (shown at “A”).
- When the layer is selected, the layer toolbar will appear at the top of the layer menu. Click on the Filter layer tool at “B”.
- Enter your desired filter specifications. In this example, layer features are filtered by Grizzly Bear population density greater than 30 (shown at “C”).
- Options are available to create complex filtering by group (shown at “D) .
- You can also add a filter by area of interest (shown at “E). The example is using a circle drawn on the map to filter features intersecting with the area.
- The layer filters allows for filtering of different layers if you have more than one (shown at “F”).
- Click on the Apply filter button at “G” to shown the results of the conditional filtering.
- To save your filter selection on the map, click on the Save button at “H”
- To reset the filter, click on the Reset button at “I”
Option 2: Attribute Table Filter
- In the map tool, select the desired layer in the layer menu so that it is highlighted in blue (shown at “A”).
- When the layer is selected, the layer toolbar will appear at the top of the layer menu. Click on the Open attribute table tool at “B”.
- Select the Sync map with filter option at “C” to show results of filter in real time.
- Enter your desired condition in the text bar over chosen attribute. In this example, layer features are filtered by Grizzly Bear population density greater than 30 (shown at “D”).
