Zoom to Selected Feature missing in new Map Viewer?

DryCreekEng

I would like to open a layer's attribute table in Map Viewer (not Classic), click on a line to highlight a feature, then click on something to zoom to that selected feature. The "Center on Selection" option is missing in the attribute table settings menu (compared to Map Viewer Classic), and double clicking on a line like we do in good ol ArcPro or Arc Map does nothing too. Help!

Dear Esri,

Has this been changed in the November 2024 ArcGIS Online update?

I'm seeing behavior that makes me think you can now zoom to a feature even when using a map image layer, rather than a feature layer. Can I trust my eyes? ha

I read all the documentation (at least all that I could find) about the update but didn't see anything about this.

Could really use this function in Portal "new" Map Viewer. I cant believe this function is apart of Map Viewer classing, but not in the new viewer esri developed and pushing to be the default view we are supposed to use.

I've run into this issue myself. I discovered this piece of Esri documentation that says that zooming to a feature is only available for feature services.

In my own map, in the "new" map viewer, I am unable to zoom to features in a layer that's from a map service I published. I added this map service, which contains 4 layers, to the map by adding the whole service as an ArcGIS Online (AGOL) content item, and then adding this whole service / content item into my map. Not one layer at a time.

However, I can zoom to features in a layer that was brought into ArcGIS Online as an individual layer; the service it is part of contains many layers, but these layers were brought into AGOL as one layer per content item, not one service per content item. So it would appear that in order to be able to zoom to a feature via the attribute table in the new map viewer, the layer has to be its own separate content item in AGOL, rather than part of a content item for a whole map service. This feels pretty inconvenient to me.

As of 4/10/24, this feature appears to have been broken again in the new map viewer. Is there going to be an update soon?

Got it- sorry- I think the Enterprise Portal I'm working in must not be updated - I see it when I log into our own ArcGIS Online account.

Thanks!

It's there. Screenshot attached.

If it was implemented in Dec 21 it's gone again.

Does it work for map service or just feature layers?

Very good news @KevinMayall Many thanks!

Thanks Kevin! I can't wait to check out the feature. I appreciate you including it in the update.

It has been implemented in the December 2021 ArcGIS Online update.

I don't think your suggestion is conducive for users who are using a web map or web app daily and need dynamic searches on data.

OliverIshmael

You can achieve this by first using the Filter to filter the attribute table to only show the feature that you wish to zoom to, then when you click Zoom to on the layers ellipsis it will centre the map on your selection.

This can be particularly useful if you then create a bookmark to save the extent.

Yep... saw that today! Should be fixed ASAP!

Just noticed the same @DryCreekEng when a client asked, was not aware, and "surprised" (really that is "101" stuff) 😕
