ArcGIS Online needs a spatial filter to allow filtering a layer based on the boundary or another layer.
A common need is to limit the extents of an ArcGIS REST services based in polygon boundary of another layer. Many nationwide ArcGIS REST services have a state field or other geography field, to it is easy to add a filter of State is 'Michigan' to just get the data for a given area if defined in an attribute field. In other cases the nationwide data set does not a State of other geography field to filter on. A good example is the layer
https://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/padus3/Public_Access/MapServer/0
Layer: Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) v3.0 (ID: 0)
Name: Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) v3.0
This is very large layer and often takes a while to display in a web map/web app. This layer does not have a State or other geography field to filter on. I would like to be able to have a spatial filter to just consume the data within Michigan using a standard Michigan county boundary polygon file like:
Summarize Within might solve your problem under Analysis
It seems the OP has a workflow similar to ours were we need to always keep the data from the external source, not use an Analysis to create a new layer.
