Can I do a definition query "on the fly" to show only those features, like ArcMap does?

I want to be able to filter my features, rather than just selecting or finding, so that my user can create a prettier and less crowded map specifically for a single site.  Can I do this?  Perhaps even in a workflow?

  Not sure exactly what you are saying - the user can filter (like definition query) a layer, if you have set it up to allow query operations when you set up the layer in Manager...

  Jacqueline,

   

  I believe you would need to use a workflow if functionality needs to be user driven and dynamic.

   

  You could ask the user to select a feature or an area (with capture geometry or parameters selection); with queryTasks activity identify features interested; filter them using a SetLayerDefinition activity (those steps can be done across different layers on same workflow).

   

  Workflow could be even more intuitive if called using right-click on the map. This would avoid feature selection step and context can be used.

   

  You might want to think in advance how/when to show all other features again when user wants to look at different area...

   

  Hi hope this helps

  Thanks Francesca!  The Set Layer Definition was it!  I was able to show only one well!!

   

  What would be the best way to remove the query?  Can I make a workflow that resets all queries?

  You can set the defintion expression to "" to remove the query. You have to define the layer(s), you cannot apply it to all layers.
