An overview of the Use Proximity toolset

The Use Proximity toolset contains a tool that helps you answer one of the most common questions posed in spatial analysis: "What is near what?"

Note:

These tools are available when you have an active ArcGIS Enterprise portal that has a hosting server configured for the Feature Analysis - Standard Tools setting. To access and run the tools, you must have spatial analysis privileges. The tools will not work if your active portal is ArcGIS Online.

These tools can be accessed from either the Analysis ribbon or the Geoprocessing pane's Portal tab.
