Function:

This activity allows a workflow to control layer definition expressions in the user’s map. ArcGIS Dynamic Map Service layers and Feature Layers are supported.

In a Workflow:

You would use this activity if you need to apply a layer definition expression to filter the content of a layer in the user’s map. For example: only show census areas with a population greater than 100,000.

When you apply a layer definition it will not automatically redraw the map. You can use the Refresh Map activity to redraw the affected map service.
