Migration of Custom Data

JoshDryer2

Hello,

I recently transitioned to the 2023 updated data for my Infographics and I now use the 2023 data while operating ArcGIS Business Analyst. It looks like my custom templates and data did not migrate to the 2023 page. Does anyone know how do do that? When I try to run a custom infographic containing my own uploaded data, it's blank and says the data isn't available. When I look at the place where my custom data is located, it isn't there. Any ideas?

Thank you for any help on this issue,

Josh

Hello @JoshDryer2,

Sorry for the inconvenience but as discussed in this blog, the 2022 and 2023 vintages have some key differences in the underlying Census boundaries and content. 

Due to these geography differences when using 2023, your custom data lists are filtered out if they are configured as Standard geography layer as shown below:

To confirm if your custom data lists are being filtered out in Esri 2023, go to Add Data > Custom Data setup > and review your My data list. Then you can toggle back to Esri 2022 to see your old list. If you see a difference in the list, that means your custom data are configured with standard geographies.

While in Esri 2023, any infographic templates that contain variables from the custom data configured with Esri 2022 geographies will show missing variables as you described above.

Please use this temporary workaround until we provide a better solution:

1. Switch to Esri 2022
2. Open your custom data list and open the action menu next to it (3 dots)
3. Click Change layer type > select Polygon layer > Next > Save 
4. Switch back to Esri 2023 and open your custom data list. Notice it will be visible now since it's not associated with any geography vintage now. 
5. Open the action menu next to your custom data again. 
6. Click Change layer type > select Standard geography layer and match the expected geography fields > Next > Save 
7. Go to Build infographics > open your custom template and confirm the missing variables are updated. 

I hope this help!
