Feature Table

Overview

The Feature Table displays attribute data from a selected map layer in an interactive table. You can spatially filter the table by drawing or selecting a geometry on the map — only features that intersect the geometry are shown. The table supports sorting, column visibility, and export.

Key Features

• Spatial filtering: Draw or select a polygon, circle, or rectangle to filter the table to intersecting features
• Buffer support: Expand a point or line geometry by a specified distance before filtering
• Layer support: Works with Feature Layers and Map Image Layer sublayers
• Measure toggle: Display live area measurements while drawing
• Export: Download filtered results as SHP or KML via the layer context menu

Accessing the Tool

1. Click the Feature Table icon in the right panel toolbar

Toolbar Buttons

The Feature Table toolbar appears at the top of the panel and provides geometry input and control buttons:

Button	Tooltip	Description
Select Shape	Select Shape	Click on the map to select an existing polygon feature as the filter boundary
Draw Polygon	Draw Polygon	Click vertices on the map to draw a custom polygon
Draw Circle	Draw Circle	Click and drag to draw a circular boundary
Draw Rectangle	Draw Rectangle	Click and drag to draw a rectangular boundary
Edit Shape	Edit Shape	Edit the vertices of the current drawn or selected shape
Measure toggle	Show area while drawing	Display a live area label (hectares or m²) while drawing
Filter Features	Filter Features	Apply the geometry filter and open the Feature Table dialog
Reset	Reset	Clear the current geometry and reset the tool
Fullscreen	Open fullscreen	Expand the Feature Table dialog to fullscreen

Buffer

The Buffer section appears below the toolbar after a geometry has been drawn or selected. Use it to expand a point, line, or polygon geometry by a fixed distance before filtering.

Points and lines must be buffered before they can be used as spatial filters against polygon layers.

Control	Description
Distance input	Enter the buffer distance (must be greater than 0)
Unit selector	Choose the unit: Meters, Kilometers, Feet, or Miles
Apply button	Applies a geodesic buffer to the current geometry on the map

Using the Feature Table

Step 1: Draw or Select a Geometry

Use the toolbar buttons to define the spatial filter boundary:

• Select an existing polygon from the map by clicking Select Shape then clicking a feature

  

• Draw a custom boundary using the Draw Polygon, Circle, or Rectangle buttons

  

Step 2: (Optional) Apply a Buffer

If your geometry is a point or line, enter a buffer distance and unit, then click Apply to convert it to a polygon before filtering.

Step 3: Filter Features

Click Filter Features to open the Feature Table dialog. The table shows all features from the selected layer that intersect the drawn geometry.

Feature Table Dialog

The Feature Table opens in a draggable, resizable dialog. The heading shows the selected layer name and field count (e.g., "Feature Table — Properties Layer (15 fields)").

The dialog is non-modal — you can continue interacting with the map while the table is open.

Left sidebar accordion panels:

• Layer — Select the layer to display in the table
• Filter — Configure the spatial filter geometry
• Sort — Set sort order for columns
• Column Visibility — Show or hide individual attribute columns

Main area — the interactive attribute data table with sorting and selection.

Data Management

Click the Three-Dots (⋮) menu icon in the table toolbar for data management options:

Option	Description
Refresh Data	Reload the table data from the layer
Clear selection	Deselect all selected rows
Zoom to Selection	Zoom the map to the selected features
Show Selection	Filter the table to show only selected rows
Export selection to CSV	Download selected features as a CSV file

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Table not populating	Verify a layer is selected and the filter geometry is valid
Filter button disabled	Draw or select a geometry first
Buffer Apply button disabled	Ensure a geometry is present and distance is greater than 0
Points/lines not filtering	Buffer the geometry first — only polygon boundaries can filter area layers
Layer not in dropdown	Ensure the layer is visible on the map
