Available with Location Referencing license.

Use the Set Time Filter tool Set the time filter on LRS layers on the map to configure the time view for LRS-managed layers. This time view can be set to a specific date or to a date range, allowing for better management of time-enabled LRS layers.

Tip:

Time must first be enabled in the project using the Enable Time button Enable Time on the Location Referencing tab or by enabling layers individually.

Complete the following steps to configure a time filter for an ArcGIS Pro map:

  1. On the Location Referencing tab, in the Tools group, click the Set Time Filter button Set the time filter on LRS layers on the map.

  2. Configure one of the following options:
    • Choose the Use current system date and time option to use the current system date and time to filter time.
    • Choose the Specific date range option and add a start date and end date to filter the map time using the configured time range.
    Set Time Filter dialog box, Specific date range option
    Tip:

    Use Clear date range to clear any previously configured time filters.

  3. Click Apply to change time filters in the map.
    Note:

    You can also set the time view on the map to the system date and time by checking the Set LRS layers in maps to the current date and time check box on the Options dialog box. When this option is checked, the current date and time are set on the map when the project is opened.
