Available in real-time and big data analytics.
The Filter by Expression tool 
filters features by an attribute expression using the Arcade expression language. Each feature is evaluated by the expression specified. Features that the specified expression evaluates as true are retained.
Examples
The following are example uses of the Filter by Expression tool:
- A real-time analytic uses the Filter by Expression tool to retain only the incoming records from a feed in which $feature.horizontal_accuracy < 15.
- A big data analytic uses the Filter by Expression tool to retain only features in which $feature.description == 'Excellent Condition'.
Usage note
Filter data by defining Arcade expressions. To learn more about Arcade expressions, see Use Arcade expressions.
