I've added a WMS layer (from a GeoServer) in ArcMap and trying to apply a filter (~definition Query?) so only features with certain attributes are displayed.

I want to filter on attribute RedlistCategory = CR

Is it possible to do this under layer properties (right click on Map Service in ArcMAP), parameters tab? What should i type in Parameter and Value? Maybe this is not the place to apply filters?

enter image description here

I've been Reading this but i dont understand what to type in Parameter and Value: GeoServer help - WMS vendor parameters

From the WMS documentation: &Filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>RedlistCategory</PropertyName> <Literal>CR</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter>&format=image/tiff Is this useful?

    I never used ArcGis, but if you can add custom parameters, I'd go for CQL_FILTER, with a value of RedlistCategory = "CR"

  • Did you try what @AndreaAime suggested? If it worked can you write that as an answer, please?

From @AndreaAime's comment i added CQL_FILTER as Parameter and RedlistCategory = 'CR' as value. CR need to be inclosed in ' signs (with " signs i get an error): enter image description here

  • What version of ArcGIS are you using? When I go to the properties for my WMS layer, I do not have a 'Parameters' tab. I am using ArcMap 10.3.

  • @user13706: I Think i was using 10.4. Are you clicking at the right level in the "tree"? In my screenshot i click the "Geoserver Web Map Service" not "All Swedish Occurences"

  • Thanks! Yes, I was doing it the way you describe. I'm upgrading to 10.5 now, and will make sure I have the Interoperability extension installed, so we'll see if that does the trick.

  • I believe the issue was that 10.3 did not provide this functionality. After upgrading to 10.5, and installing the Data Interoperability extension, I have the Parameters tab, like you. I tried disabling the Interoperability extension, and it's still there, so I think it's related to ArcGIS version, not the extension. Thanks for your quick feedback!
