Grouping themes
Do you have a messy ArcMap project full of so many themes you can‘t keep them all straight? You should group some datasets! Grouping data will unclutter the table of contents allowing you to display groups of data rather than one layer at a time.
- Select the themes you wish to group by holding down Shift + click on each theme. Then, right click and choose ‘Group’. The selected themes will appear nested under the name ‘New Group Layer’.
2) Change ‘New Group Layer’ to something more meaningful by right clicking on the heading, then properties. Rename and click OK.
- The newly group themes can now be easily checked to display (or not), and minimized to clean up the table of contents.
