Introduction

Attribute tables can be included in ArcGIS Pro print layouts and used within VertiGIS Studio Web print templates to display feature information directly in the generated output.

Depending on your requirements, attribute tables can be configured to display:

1. All features from a layer, regardless of the current map extent
2. Only features visible within the map extent at the time of printing
3. Only selected features from a layer

Prerequisites

• ArcGIS Pro is installed and licensed
• A print layout has been created
• The layout contains a WEBMAP_MAP_FRAME referencing your map
• The layer to be displayed in the attribute table has to be present in the map

Option 1: Display All Features

This configuration displays all records from the specified layer, regardless of the current map extent or any selected features. To configure this option in ArcGIS Pro follow the next steps:

1. Open the layout in ArcGIS Pro

2. Insert a Table Frame into the layout

3. Select the layer whose features should be displayed

4. Set the query on the Table Frame to All rows

5. Configure the fields to include in the table

6. Adjust the size and position of the table as required

7. Save the layout and export it as a PAGX layout

All records from the configured layer are available for the attribute table. The print output displays as many records as fit within the configured table area on the layout. Additional records are not shown if the available space is exceeded.

Option 2: Display Only Features Visible in the Map Extent

This configuration displays only those features that are currently visible within the map extent of the print map. To configure this option in ArcGIS Pro follow the next steps:

1. Open the layout in ArcGIS Pro

2. Insert a Table Frame into the layout

3. Select the layer whose features should be displayed

4. Set the query on the Table Frame to Visible rows

5. Configure the fields to include in the table

6. Adjust the size and position of the table as required

7. Save the layout and export it as a PAGX layout

Only features visible within the current map extent are included in the attribute table. The print output displays as many records as fit within the configured table area on the layout. Additional records are not shown if the available space is exceeded.

Option 3: Display Only Selected Features

This configuration displays only features that are selected by the user before printing. To configure this option in ArcGIS Pro follow the next steps:

This functionality is not yet available and is planned to be introduced with the next release of VertiGIS Studio Web 5.45 (scheduled for December 2026). The configuration steps in ArcGIS Pro for this option will be updated once the release is available.

Only features selected by the user are included in the attribute table. The print output displays as many records as fit within the configured table area on the layout. Additional records are not shown if the available space is exceeded.

How to Publish the ArcGIS Pro Layouts correctly

To use the layout in VertiGIS Studio Web, an additional workaround is required. PAGX layouts that contain attribute tables cannot be used directly, because publishing a PAGX layout with a referenced web map is not supported. Additionally, importing the exported PAGX file into the Printing Designer removes the table frame configuration, as table frames are not supported by the designer.

To preserve the original PAGX configuration, including the attribute table settings, follow these steps:

1. Import the PAGX layout into the VertiGIS Studio Printing Designer

2. Save the layout to create the corresponding portal item

3. Open the created portal item in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise

4. Use Update Data to overwrite the item's data with the original PAGX file exported from ArcGIS Pro

After overwriting the item data, the original PAGX configuration is restored. As a result, the attribute table configuration and table frames are retained and will be included in the print output.
