ArcGIS Pro: Create Pane for Definition Query

[EricaHunsicker]

Similar to the Symbology, Labeling, etc. panes, it would be useful to have a pane for Definition Queries that you can view and modify by layer. Rather than going into the Layer Properties, having the definition queries accessible in a Pane would be much more efficient and easy to use - especially for switching between queries, creating new queries etc. You could have a similar 'Apply' button as well.

When using Definition queries in order to filter and visualized data on the map I am required to follow a few steps: Right click on the layer>>Properties>>Definition queries>>creating required query>>Apply>>OK

After following those steps I will see the queried data on the map, but often I would need to change the query a few time in order to see the differences on the map.

It would be great if the Apply button would actually apply the results on the map so I can just have a look and change the query again if needed (As it was in ArcMap).

Yo EliazKlein. I TOTALLY agree! You should probably create a separate Idea for this so user can vote. Regards.  marie

@Marie_Ducharme Eliaz's idea was separate but after reviewing with the development team we determined that the work would fit together with a definition query pane and solve the problem - we merged the ideas.

Thank you

It would be really handy to have the Definition Query dialog available via right-clicking a layer in the Contents pane, similar to how Labeling is set up - one line in hte right-click menu for DefQuery properties and one line to quickly / easily toggle the DefQuery on and off without the many clicks required to do so via the layer properties dialog.

See @wayfaringrob 's way of setting up a quick way to launch the Definition Query properties as well as have the toggle available from the QAT: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/definition-query-qat-icon/idi-p/1283944

Please add a Definition Query Pane in a similar style to the Labelling Pane.
It should show the DQ and the various related tools in one window when the pane is open and the layer selected. 
The label class pane with expression editor is a good example.

This will remove a couple of clicks per layer when doing DQ things across multiple layers.
