Attribute Table widget

The Attribute Table widget displays a tabular view of operational layers' attributes. It displays at the bottom of your web app and can be opened, resized, or closed. When more than one layer's attributes display, multiple tabs automatically generate in the attribute panel allowing you to switch among the attribute tables. You can use the widget's configuration window to specify the layer or layers to be included in the tabular view, the fields show, and whether the tabular view can be exported.

Layers from map services, feature services, and feature collections in the map are supported. The layers from map services and feature services require query capability to display in the table.

    CautionCaution:

    By default, all supported layers are listed in the table. If the service does not support query capability, the associated layer remains unchecked under Show.
