Build report templates

获得 Business Analyst 许可后可用。

Reports help you learn about an area, outlining key facts such as business and demographic information. Create report templates using content from existing reports and variables from the data browser. Customize reports by adding charts, images, maps, and text.

注：

Building classic report templates in ArcGIS Pro is not available when connected to an online data source. To build templates in ArcGIS Pro, you must select a local dataset. To build templates using an online data source, use the report editor in Business Analyst Web App.

There are two ways to add content to a report template. You can add content from existing reports, and you can add variables from the data browser.

To build a report template, do the following:

1. On the Analysis tab, click Business Analysis to open the gallery, and click the Infographic Editor button .
2. Click the Build Templates drop-down menu and choose Classic Reports .
3. Optionally, use the Select reports tab to browse or search existing reports. Once you have chosen a report, drag the desired sections to the editor pane or click Add full report.

   You can select multiple sections by pressing the Shift key and clicking.

4. Optionally, use the Select variables tab to find variables in the data browser. Drag the desired variables to the editor pane.

   You can select multiple variables by pressing the Shift key.

5. Insert items in the report template and edit the report template.
6. When you are finished, click Save.
7. In the Save report template window, create a title for the template and click Save.

   The template is saved in the My reports section of the Select reports tab.

• Edit—Open the report template in edit mode.
