Hi @ValeriaChavez, thank you for your interest in this idea. The difference between my idea and Measure Features tool is quite fundamental. These are the main differences:  The first is the workflow. When I work with or evaluate features, the primary tool for me is Select tool - I select the features and then do some changes (change attributes, move, delete or whatever). And before doing these changes, there is always good to have some additional information (e. g. summary) to be in better control. But ArcGIS shows only how many features are selected. With suggested summary (area, length, volume), there would be instantly more information about selected features for decision-making. My suggestion is to make summary available naturally (displayed in the background) when selecting features (in Map for selected layer in Contents pane or in Attribute Table for opened layer) as additional information without having to launch a new tool. On the other hand, when I want to sum features with Measure Features tool, I can't use my selection (already done with Select tool) and I need to intentionally activate this other tool and do the same selection specifically for Measure Features tool once more (which is time consuming an far less practical).  Measure Feature tool does not allow multiple elements to be selected at once. So if I wanted to know the sum of e. g. 500 features, I would have to select them them 500 times. On the other hand I can select features at once either with Select tool (lasso, line etc.) or Select By Attributes tool (from one layer) and with my idea the summary would be immediately shown. So this workflow would be quite quicker. Measure Feature tool summarizes any selected feature regardless of which layer it is from. On the other hand when I seek summarization of selected features, I mostly prefer to summarize features from the same layer.  This idea could be also expanded to Selection tab in Contents pane, which shows only sum of features. This tab could be also enriched with additional summary of area/length/volume of selected features for each layer. ... View more

@AyanPalit My idea is to see summarizations of area and length immediately when features are selected without unnecessary mouse clicks. Data Engineering is a great tool, but not so interactive, as I proposed in this idea. It takes multiple mouse clicks to get the summary in Data Engineering and when the selection changes user needs to activate calculate again. Why not show these elementary values right in the status bar without any delay? ...

@KoryKramer I meant it at database level (when designing the database) and subsequently (as you write) the user can work with such groups in attribute table, fields view etc. But there could also be the possibility to modify or create user specified groups in individual project regardless of the database level for customization of the working process. I don't have any screenshot, I have only some excel designs (not in English). But for example, when I do urban structure analysis (in one feature class), the fields can be divided in these thematic groups: basic identification data administrative data historical development structural analysis and synthesis urban limits urban economy and demography urban design (proposal) infrastructure data data sources, etc. Each group contain for example about 15-30 fields. With so many fields the structure of the database becomes confusing and the work with each field individually is very tedious and time consuming. ... View more

I remember times, when ArcMap's poor speed has been compared with quick old ArcView. So this idea and these complaints in comments about ArcGIS Pro poor speed are a kind of paradox, which means that something is historically rotten in ESRI's approach to desktop software development quality. There could be tons of ideas for improvement on this page, but to no avail because of this one crucial thing.  ... View more

Great ideas - both - the toggle for domains and their visual indication. Besides more other visual helpers and indicators in attribute table are needed for better and fast visual comprehension of displayed data, as for example: conditional formatting and color coding of field data types - Conditional formatting in Attribute Table indicate field purpose (field used for DQ, join, labelling, etc.) and symbol preview by field value - Advanced Table Visual Interface field sorting - Interactive sort control in the attribute table ...
