For example, if we want to know how many public transport stations in our feature layer contain the word “Park”, we can use the following query: Where “Station” contains the text “Park”, and run the tool: This tool lets you select a subset of features through a SQL query, to select features matching a selection criteria from a layer or a table. Method 3: Selecting features with the Select by Attribute tool

The results show 180 features (transport stations) in South London: Using a shapefile with the geographical boundaries of South London from ArcGIS Online and adding it to the map (marked in grey), we can select the stations in this region only by choosing the Select by Location tool from the Selection menu under Map, and choosing the London station features as input and “intersect” as the relationship method with the South London boundary: The tool is available in the ribbon interface in the Selection menu under Map. The Select By Location tool allows you to select features based on their location relative to features in another layer. Method 2: Selecting features with the Select by Location tool
ARCMAP SELECT BY ATTRIBUTES HOW TO
Below is an image that shows how to select features interactively using a circle, using the Selection tab under the Map window: Selections can be easily cleared in a single mouse click using the clear selection tool in the Selection group on the Map tab. The available options are rectangle, polygon, lasso, circle, line and trace. This is done by choosing the Selection group on the Map tab on the ribbon interface and picking a selection tool. Multiple features can be selected at once by drawing a rectangle (or other shape) on the map as to include multiple features at once. At the bottom of the map view, the Selected Features counter will be set to one. For selecting multiple features at once, hold the shift button and select more features. To select a single feature, you can simply point your mouse cursor on the feature of choice in the map window and click on it. This obviously requires the features to be visible on a map. The easiest way to select map features (points, lines or polygons) is by selecting them interactively from the map window. Method 1: Selecting features interactively You can drag and drop the feature layer in the map window to add it to the map, as displayed below:

The feature layer with the points features can be found through the Catalog window, under the Portal menu, choosing the ArcGIS Online cloud icon and typing “london stations” in the search bar.
ARCMAP SELECT BY ATTRIBUTES PRO
We’ll demonstrate multiple ways of selecting features in ArcGIS Pro using a feature layer from ArcGIS Online, called “london transport”, that shows all underground and rail stations as points. There are multiple ways to do this in ArcGIS Pro, as illustrated below. Selecting features on a map or from a feature attribute table is an important task, whether you are editing or analyzing a selection of your data. Check out our self-paced GIS training bundles.
