The new filtering experience and smart attribute summaries in Map Viewer Beta<\/a> make data discovery and mapmaking easy and fun. You no longer need to be an expert on the data to make a great map. As you explore the layer through filtering and attribute information, the map immediately updates. This provides greater understanding which helps you make smarter mapping decisions.<\/p>\n

Smart summaries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After adding a layer to the map, the first step is to choose an attribute to symbolize. Sometimes a layer may have hundreds of fields which makes it difficult to find the attribute of interest. Map Viewer Beta provides a helpful search bar and sorting option to locate fields quickly. The image below shows the fields available in a United States Airports layer.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":662482,"id":662482,"title":"Attribute search bar","filename":"SearchBar.png","filesize":43428,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-online\/mapping\/understand-and-explore-your-data-in-map-viewer-beta\/searchbar","alt":"Attribute search bar","author":"6751","description":"","caption":"","name":"searchbar","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":662192,"date":"2019-11-20 21:22:15","modified":"2019-11-20 21:22:26","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":504,"height":828,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","medium-width":159,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","medium_large-width":504,"medium_large-height":828,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","large-width":504,"large-height":828,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","1536x1536-width":504,"1536x1536-height":828,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","2048x2048-width":504,"2048x2048-height":828,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar-283x465.png","card_image-width":283,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/11\/SearchBar.png","wide_image-width":504,"wide_image-height":828}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Top Values<\/h3>\n

The attribute information for the OWNER field helps the mapmaker understand the data. The description states that there are five types of owners: public, private, Air Force, Navy, and Army. \u201cPublic\u201d airports are owned and operated by local, regional, and state authorities. There are 873 airports and none of the records are empty. Since this field is a string, or text, the attribute information panel calculates the top values.

Numeric statistics<\/h3>\n

Next, the mapmaker views the attribute information for the Enplanements field. The description states that this is the number of passengers who board a plane at a specific airport in one year. Because it is a Double, or numeric, field the attribute panel provides important numeric statistics such as minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation. The average number of enplanements is around 800,000 passengers per year.

Filtering provides a path to finding the most important features quickly and easily by limiting the visibility of other features in the layer.

In the above animation, the mapmaker filters the map to only show public airports. During this process, the mapmaker sees Air Force airports scattered throughout the United States and Navy airports along the coast.<\/p>\n

Next, the mapmaker creates a filter expression to show only airports above one mile in elevation. High altitude airports have thinner air and low atmospheric pressure. This affects the speed at which the airplane needs to take off as well as the required length of the runway. The histogram provides an understanding of data distribution and helps the mapmaker fine-tune the features being filtered within the map. Notice how the filters are immediately applied on the map as the mapmaker authors them.<\/p>\n

Discover new patterns<\/strong><\/h2>\n
