Edit tables (Map Viewer)

If the owner of an editable table layer shares the layer with you, you can add the layer to Map Viewer and edit the attribute values.

Tip:

The layer owner, organization administrators, and members of shared update groups with which the layer is shared can edit a hosted feature layer or table layer's contents even when editing is not enabled on the layer. The only exception to this is if editing is disabled for specific fields in the layer; no one can edit those.

Edit field values

You can edit values in a table layer and in the attribute table of a feature layer. See Edit features for instructions to update values in the attribute table of a feature layer. Follow the steps below to edit values in a table layer in Map Viewer.

  1. Confirm that you are signed in and, if you want to save your changes, that you have privileges to create content.

    Note:
    You can explore maps, add and configure layers, and more without signing in. To save your work, sign in before creating a map.

  2. In Map Viewer, open the map containing the layer or add the layer directly.
  3. To add a row (record) to the table, click Create record. In the Edit feature pane, use the form to define the row's attributes. Click Create to save your changes.
  4. To edit values in an existing row, do either of the following:
    • Double-click in the cell that contains the value you want to edit and type a value, or, if the field is configured to provide a list of values, choose the correct value from the drop-down menu. To delete the value when there is a list, choose empty. Press Enter to save your changes.
    • Click Edit record Edit record next to the cell that contains the value you want to edit. In the Edit feature pane, use the form to update the record's attributes. Click Update to save your changes. Click Delete to delete the record from the table.

Add related photos and files

Feature and table layers can include related photos or other files as attachments. If the layer owner has enabled attachments on the layer and you have privileges to edit the layer, you can attach related photos and files to records in the table.

Note:

Adding attachments to table layers in Map Viewer is not supported at this time. To add attachments to a table layer, open the item page for the table, click the Data tab, and add attachments in the Table view.

For instructions to add attachments to feature layers in Map Viewer, see Edit features.
