Visible path for open tables

It would be useful to get the full path of open tables in ArcGIS Pro: if you right click on a table/FC from the Catalog Pane and select "Open Table" then you're not able to know the data source of your open table.

Consider if you have many tables open: it would be very confusing to know the table from which geodatabase it belongs.

An option to get data source could be to add the "Properties" in the context list:

This Idea has been implemented in ArcGIS Pro 3.1. Please see the What's New documentation for more new features in Pro 3.1.

To take a look at how this and other Ideas have been implemented, take a look at the blog and video.

Hi @AmeliaBradshaw I'm looking for this - how is it implemented? I right clicked an attribute table and I don't get the info on the source.

@Anonymous User when the ability to open tables without adding them to a map was implemented, you would get a blank Contents pane, and as pointed out in this idea, it really wasn't possible to know the table's source. What was added in 3.1 was the information in the Contents pane displaying the table's source.

Do we need a separate idea?

Something like: "Open table properties from attribute table to determine source"

yes, I think that would be a great idea.

@Bud in your screenshot you have a table that is already added to a map, not opened directly. If you have a use case, you can submit a new idea.

Thank you

Hi @AmeliaBradshaw ,

glad to know that my idea was good. But I do not see my name in the list of the contributors, as you mentioned in your previous post 😞
