There are several ways to view and interact with feature attributes in ArcGIS Pro. This tutorial demonstrates two of the most common: the Attribute Table and the interactive feature Pop-up.


Opening the Attribute Table

To access the attribute table of a feature class, right-click on the name of the feature class in the Contents Pane, then click Attribute Table.

Within the Attribute Table, you can sort by field values (by right-clicking on the field name at the top of the attribute table). If your table contains many columns, scroll to the left or right to see the other fields.


Accessing Individual Feature Attributes

Click on a feature within a Map View to bring up the Pop-up panel displaying the feature’s attributes.

TIP: Select a feature using the square button on the bottom of the pop-up window.
