Set Different color for layer base on field

Hi,

I want to setup a Point feature layer and I want to feature display different color base on the value of the field. How can I do it in ArcGIS Pro?

There's a lot of options depending on the type of data you're working with. You can find the options in the symbology menu:

In your ArcPro table of contents, make sure you click on the layer you want to symbolize, then click on the Feature Layer tab:

Using the dropdown, you can select the symbol style. Unique values is a common choice, and it will give you a list of all the available values in the field you choose:

Hi @DRae ,

This is possible by displaying based on unique values in the Symbology pane. More information can be found here: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/mapping/layer-properties/unique-value.htm

Hi DRae,

This ArcGIS Pro Help articles on symbology and data classification will answer all your questions:

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/symbolize-feature-layers.htm

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/layer-properties/data-classification-methods.htm

Since you didn't say whether your data is nominal (apples, oranges, pears) and/or quantitative (1, 2, 3, 4, etc), I'll leave it up to you to read through the two articles and play with your options.

Send us a picture of your map when you're finished so we can give you a big high five!
