Displays a composite layer of all the subtype values in a feature class.

Use case
This is useful for controlling labeling, visibility and symbology of a given subtype as though they are distinct layers on the map.
How to use the sample
The sample loads with the sublayer visible on the map. Toggle its visibility with the “Show sublayer” checkbox. Change the sublayer’s renderer with the radio buttons, using “Show original renderer” or “Show alternative renderer”, and set its minimum scale using the “Set sublayer minimum scale” button. This will set the sublayer’s minimum scale to that of the current map scale. Zoom in and out to see the sublayer become visible based on its new scale range.
How it works
- Create a
SubtypeFeatureLayerfrom aServiceFeatureTablethat defines a subtype, and add it to theMap. - Get a
SubtypeSublayerfrom the subtype feature using its name. - Enable the sublayer’s labels and define them with
LabelDefinitions. - Set the visibility status using this sublayer’s
setVisibleproperty. - Change the sublayer’s symbology with
SubtypeSublayer::setRenderer(). - Update the sublayer’s minimum scale value with
SubtypeSublayer::setMinScale().

About the data
The Naperville electrical network feature service, hosted on ArcGIS Online (authentication required: this is handled within the sample code), contains a utility network with asset classification for different devices.
Additional information
Using utility network on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8 requires an ArcGIS Enterprise member account licensed with the Utility Network user type extension. Please refer to the utility network services documentation.
