Hosted Feature View Layer Automatic Updates

Hello

I have a rather simple and probably ignorant question.

I created a View layer to be used in Field Maps from a Hosted Feature Layer that is linked to a Survey123 survey. The Hosted Feature Layer is live and data is being added to it almost everyday through Survey123. What I am wondering is if the View layer created will also update when new features are added? I do not have any filters on the View layer.

This is my first go around with View layers.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, from the documentation - "This new layer is a view of the data in the hosted feature layer, updates made to the data appear in the hosted feature layer and all of its hosted feature layer views. However, because the view is a separate layer, you can change properties and settings on the view item separately from the hosted feature layer from which it is created."
