Summary Reports (Business Analyst)

Available with Business Analyst license.

Summary

Creates and populates demographic style summary reports for a boundary layer using Esri report templates.

Usage

• Input layers must be polygons within the extent of the active dataset.

• Template names generally describe the type of data to be contained in the template.

• Reports can be created for boundary layers or for multiple polygons in a boundary layer. Use the Summarization Options parameter to set how reports will be created when one or more features are present.

• Business Analyst Data, used in summarizations and reports, is specified through the geoprocessing Data Source environment setting.

• When using ModelBuilder, you must create an output folder or select an existing folder before running Summary Reports.

• The Ring ID Field parameter controls the display of data for each polygon, with the lowest values presented first.

• The Area Description Field parameter values are displayed as output report headers that distinguish the data for each input polygon.

• To properly display data for the input sites with multiple polygons, the Store ID Field, Store Name Field, Ring ID Field, and Area Description Field parameters must be set.
