topic How to include only the habitat types mapped in a legend in Standards and Interoperability Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/standards-and-interoperability-questions/how-to-include-only-the-habitat-types-mapped-in-a/m-p/107146#M47 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, I work with a habitats polygon layer that includes about 100 habitat types. Most of the maps I produce with it will only have 5-10 of these habitats in the mapping area. However when I make the legend all 100 are included. At present I am manually making the legend for each map, which of course is time consuming. Is there a way to include only the habitats that are included in the map in the key, and not all those within the shapefile/feature class? Thanks!</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Jun 2017 07:19:40 GMT MTGIS 2017-06-08T07:19:40Z How to include only the habitat types mapped in a legend https://community.esri.com/t5/standards-and-interoperability-questions/how-to-include-only-the-habitat-types-mapped-in-a/m-p/107146#M47 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, I work with a habitats polygon layer that includes about 100 habitat types.
