Or at the very least, add Views to the Tables group too, since views can be non-spatial.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Related:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/catalog-view-indicate-if-object-is-a-database-view/idc-p/1269569#M23851" target="_self"&gt;Catalog View — Indicate if object is a database view, annotation, etc. in Type column&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
