Run reports and infographics

Available with Business Analyst license.

Reports and infographics allow you to visualize and analyze key information about geographic areas, such as polygons and trade areas. You can run predesigned templates or build and import custom infographics and reports using Business Analyst Web App. You can run a report or infographic using online or local datasets, populating it with data from Esri demographic data portfolios, site attributes, and ArcGIS content. The resulting document can be exported, saved, and shared.

Note:

You can also run infographics from the Map tab, in the Inquiry group, by clicking Infographics to interactively view infographic templates.

You can create and export reports that are included with Business Analyst, reports shared with you by other users, and custom reports that you created in Business Analyst Web App. Reports can be formatted as .pdf, Excel, .html, Simple .xml, .zip, .csv, and .pagx files.
