Query Features

Used to specify the parameters you want to use to query.

You can access this tool from the following:

Ribbon: Geospatial Context > Home > Feature Services > Query Features

You can select the connections you want to use from the list of opened connections. You must also select the spatial area to limit the feature instances that will be queried. The tool will query all feature instances inside the area and those that overlap it.

Setting	Description
Spatial Area	Displays the possible values given below: Active View: Only the feature instances that are inside or are overlapping the extent of the active view will be queried. All: All the feature instances of the selected feature classes are queried without any limited area. Fence (Overlap): This option is only available when there is an active fence. The software will use the fence as if its mode were Overlap regardless of its actual mode. Named Boundary: The area to use is defined by a Named Boundary. The limit to use must be selected in the Named Boundary right below the Spatial Area field.
Named Boundary	Available only when the option Named Boundary is selected to define the spatial area. All the Named Boundaries available in the master model and their references are listed in the drop-down.
Selected Feature Classes in these Connections	Lists all the open connections available in the active model. You must select the connections you want to query from. The feature classes to query in these connections must be chosen beforehand using the Edit feature connection tool.
Query	Queries all the feature instances that are inside the area as well as those that overlap it.
Cancel	Closes the window without saving the changes made in the Query Features tool setting window.

Note: The settings used in the dialog box are saved in user preferences. They are therefore preselected with the last parameters used the next time the tool is started.

Note: Some feature services do not fully support query by spatial area, but instead use only the coordinate extents of the spatial area. The feature instances entirely outside the spatial area may be included in query results.
