    <title>idea Create new group layer in Standalone Tables section in Contents pane in ArcGIS Pro Ideas</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;ArcGIS Pro 3.3.0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I want to create an empty group layer for standalone tables. When I right-click the Standalone Tables section, the New Group Layer option is greyed out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Whereas with spatial layers, when I right-click the Map section in the Contents, I'm able to create a new spatial group layer from scratch. But that group layer can't be used for standalone tables.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm aware that a workaround is to select existing standalone tables and right-click them to create a group layer. However, I think I should be able to create an empty standalone table group layer from scratch, similar to what I can do for spatial layers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Video:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;div class="lia-vid-container video-embed-center"&gt;&lt;div id="lia-vid-6353604961112w936h540r704" class="lia-video-brightcove-player-container"&gt;&lt;video-js data-video-id="6353604961112" data-account="6161463677001" data-player="default" data-embed="default" class="vjs-fluid" controls="" data-application-id="" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"&gt;&lt;/video-js&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src="https://players.brightcove.net/6161463677001/default_default/index.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script&gt;(function() {  var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-6353604961112w936h540r704');  var videoEl = wrapper ? wrapper.querySelector('video-js') : null;  if (videoEl) {     if (window.videojs) {       window.videojs(videoEl).ready(function() {         this.on('loadedmetadata', function() {           this.el().querySelectorAll('.vjs-load-progress div[data-start]').forEach(function(bar) {             bar.setAttribute('role', 'presentation');             bar.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');           });         });       });     }  }})();&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a class="video-embed-link" href="https://community.esri.com/t5/video/gallerypage/video-id/6353604961112"&gt;(view in My Videos)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Related:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/dragging-catalog-item-to-contents-pane-doesn-t/m-p/1278632/highlight/true#M67972" target="_self"&gt;Dragging Catalog item to Contents pane doesn't always work&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Esri Case #03634931 - Can't create new group layer in Standalone Tables section in Contents pane&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;I was able to reproduce the behavior on my end by following the steps shown in the attached video. Upon further research regarding group layers, it appears that this behavior&amp;nbsp;is by design and is documented here: &lt;A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/work-with-group-layers.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Work with group layers&lt;/A&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are two ways to create group layers in the Contents pane:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Right-click the name of the map or scene in the &lt;STRONG&gt;Contents &lt;/STRONG&gt;pane and click &lt;STRONG&gt;New Group Layer&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Alternatively, you can right-click a selection of one or more items and choose Group &lt;STRONG&gt;Group &lt;/STRONG&gt;to make the selection into a new group layer.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Therefore, we will not proceed to log a bug for this behavior.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;</description>
