Export filtered feature layers with attachments in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer

Summary

In some instances, it is necessary to export feature layers with attachments only from a certain category within a feature layer. Due to the large size of attachments, filtering a feature layer simplifies the export process and reduces export time compared to exporting an entire dataset with attachments. In ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, it is only possible to export filtered feature layers with attachments as a file geodatabase.

This article describes the workflow to select a certain category using the Filter option and export the filtered feature layer with attachments using the Extract Data tool in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer.

Procedure

1. In ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, open the web map containing the hosted feature layer. Select the feature layer.
2. Use the Filter option to select the relevant records.
   1. Create an expression for the filter(s) to show the records to be exported. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Create a filter for more information.
   2. Click Save to apply the filter.

3. Export the filtered feature layer to a file geodatabase using the Extract Data tool.
   1. On the Settings (light) toolbar, click Analysis. In the Analysis pane, click Tools.

2. In the Tools pane, expand Manage data and click Extract Data.

3. In the Extract Data pane, for Input layers, click Layer. In the Select layer pane, under Map layers, click the feature layer to be exported. In this example, the feature layer is CCTV_HK_NA.

4. For Result layer, under Output data format, click the drop-down menu and select File geodatabase (.zip).
5. For Output name, specify a name for the filtered layer to be exported. In this example, the name is CCTV_HK_Southern.

Note:
Click Estimate credits in the Extract Data pane before running the analysis to check the number of credits consumed for this process.

6. Click Run.

4. In ArcGIS Online, download the file geodatabase with attachments from My Content.
   1. In ArcGIS Online, navigate to Content > My Content.
   2. On the My Content page, click the extracted file geodatabase.
   3. On the file geodatabase's item details page, click Download.
