About displaying a subset of features in a layer
Note:
This topic was updated for 9.3.1.
If you only want to display features with certain attributes, you can apply a definition query to a layer. For example, you may want to display only cities with a population above a certain threshold. You can type your own expression or you can use the Query Builder to help you set up your query expression.
To add all the features back to the display, simply delete the query.
How to display a subset of features in a layer
- Right-click the layer in the table of contents and click Properties.
- Click the Definition Query tab.
- Type an expression or click Query Builder.
Query Builder lets you create an expression to identify the particular features in the layer you want to display. - Click OK.
