Can I create a select by attributes tool in ARCGIS Online?

[TaylorLundeen]

I am trying to figure out if and how I can create a select by attributes tool for a map service within ARCGIS Online, since the tool is not available on that program. I was wondering if there is a script I could run in the API that would do this, or if I could somehow incorporate python script into ARCGIS Online, since I know the python code to run a selection by attributes.

This might answer your question 🙂

Have you tried using the Filter tool on a map service layer to Select by Attributes?

I tried following those instructions for Creating Filters, but I could not find filter under the drop down menu next to the layer

Taylor:

Is the map service coming from your web map server?  Are you able to see and adjust map service properties?

The attached image shows the map service properties "Operations Allowed" for the map service that I can perform a Filter operation on.

I think it's ARCGIS Server you're thinking of, I'm using ARCGIS Online.

Yep, I get it.  My question was are you using a map service that you created and own or are you using a map service from an agency server?

For instance, load this map service into your AGOL map.

Now, can you see a Filter option for the Continental US layer like that shown in the attachment below?

I uploaded the data onto ArcGIS online from Arcmap using 'Add Layer from file' and I am using an agency server

For the layer that you uploaded from ArcMap - when you view the Item Details for that layer from within AGOL, have you "Enabled" editing in the Properties at the bottom of the Details page then Saved?

Editing doesn't show up for me, just "Tags", "Credits", "Delete Protection", "Save As", "Offline Mode", "Extent", and "Application Settings"
