Available in real-time and big data analytics.
The Filter by Expression tool 
filters features by an attribute expression using ArcGIS Arcade. Each feature is evaluated by the defined expression. Features that the expression evaluates as true are retained.
Examples
The following are example use cases for the 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 real-time or 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.
Parameters
The following are the parameters for the tool:
| Parameter | Description | Data type |

Expression | An attribute expression that evaluates features to filter the incoming data.

Output layer
