Summarize Attributes

inputLayer (Required)

The features that will be summarized.

Syntax: As described in Feature input, this parameter can be one of the following:

• A URL to a feature service layer with an optional filter to select specific features
• A URL to a big data catalog service layer with an optional filter to select specific features
• A feature collection

fields (Required)

The fields that will be used to summarize like features. For example, if you choose a field named property type with the values of commercial and residential, all the features with property type residential will be summarized together through calculated summary statistics and all of the commercial features will be summarized together the same way.

timeStepInterval (Optional)

This parameter is available at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 or later.

A numeric value that specifies duration of the time step interval. The default is none. This option is only available if the input points are time enabled and represent an instant in time.

timeStepIntervalUnit (Optional)

This parameter is available at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 or later.

A string that specifies units of the time step interval. The default is none. This option is only available if the input points are time enabled and represent an instant in time.

timeStepRepeatInterval (Optional)

This parameter is available at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 or later.

A numeric value that specifies how often the time step repeat occurs. The default is none. This option is only available if the input points are time enabled and of time type instant.

timeStepRepeatIntervalUnit (Optional)

This parameter is available at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 or later.

A string that specifies the temporal unit of the step repeat. The default is none. This option is only available if the input points are time enabled and of time type instant.

timeStepReference (Optional)

This parameter is available at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 or later.

A date that specifies the reference time to align the time slices to, represented in milliseconds from epoch. The default is January 1, 1970, at 12:00 a.m. (epoch time stamp 0). This option is only available if the input points are time enabled and of time type instant.

summaryFields (Optional)

A list of field names and statistical summary types you want to calculate. Note that the count is always returned. By default, all statistics are returned.

The Count of features with the same fields values are always returned. onStatisticField specifies the name of the fields in the target layer. statisticType is one of the following for numeric fields:

• Count—For numeric fields, this totals the number of values of all the points in each polygon. For string fields, this totals the number of strings for all the points in each polygon.
• Sum—For numeric fields, this adds the total value of all the points in each polygon.
• Mean—For numeric fields, this calculates the average of all the points in each polygon.
• Max—For numeric fields, this calculates the largest value of all the points in each polygon.
• Range—For numeric fields, this finds the difference between the Min and Max values.
• Stddev—For numeric fields, this finds the standard deviation of all the points in each polygon.
• Var—For numeric fields, this finds the variance of all the points in each polygon.
• Any—For numeric fields, this returns a sample string of a point in each polygon.

context (Optional)

The context parameter contains additional settings that affect task execution. For this task, there are two possible settings:

• Extent (extent)—A bounding box that defines the analysis area. Only those features that intersect the bounding box will be analyzed.
• Data store (dataStore)—Results will be saved to the specified data store. The default is the spatiotemporal big data store.

f

The response format. The default response format is html .

Values: html | json | pjson

output

The output will always contain a table.

{"url": "https://<analysis-url>/SummarizeAttributes/jobs/<jobId>/results/output"}

The result has properties for parameter name, data type, and value. The contents of value depend on the outputName parameter provided in the initial request. The value contains the URL of the feature service layer.
