Edit attributes

The Attributes pane is used to update the attributes for a selected feature, including adding attachments. The tabular view of a layer's attribute data is used to explore and update data.

Note:

You cannot create a form for a layer in ArcGIS Web Editor. Use Map Viewer to configure forms for attribute editing.

Update attributes

You can update values in a layer using the Attributes pane or the layer's table.

Update attributes in the Attributes pane

To update attributes in the Attributes pane, complete the following steps:

   • FeatureSets functions
   • Portal functions
   • Artificial intelligence (AI) functions

   If you need to edit more than the maximum allowable features, see the Calculate fields workflow.

3. Update the necessary field values in the Attributes pane for the selected features.

   If multiple features are selected, you can switch between the individual Feature view and Multiple features view using the expand button . Then you can do the following:

   • In the individual Feature view, you can use the right arrow button to view the next feature and the left arrow button to view the previous feature.
   • In the Multiple features view, you can update attributes for all selected features at once.

   Note:

   Some form elements are currently not displayed when more than one feature is selected, including attachments, the Info element, related records, and contingent values.

   Caution:

   Fields with different domains set at the subtype level are not visible in the Multiple features view.

4. Click Save.

The selected features are updated with any changes made and, if editing multiple features, all edits are saved whether you are editing in the Multiple features view or individual Feature view.

Add attachments

Feature 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 one feature at a time in Web Editor. If a layer has a form configured with an attachment element, you can add attachments through the form. In Web Editor, you can also add attachments to layers with forms configured even if the form has been authored without the attachment element. To learn more about the attachments form element, see Configure forms for attribute editing in the Map Viewer help.

Note:

You cannot attach files to a feature if you have unsaved changes in the Attributes pane.

To add an attachment to a layer with attachments enabled, complete the following steps:

1. Follow the steps to select a feature.
2. Open the Attributes pane by doing one of the following:
   • On the editing toolbar, click Attributes .
   • On your keyboard , press Alt+Shift+T (for Windows) or press Option+Shift+T (for Mac).

   • If a form is not configured or if a form is configured without an attachment element, click View attachments , then click Add attachments .
4. Click Select file.
