The June 2026 update of the Business Analyst Widget in Experience Builder includes the following new features:
1. View infographic within the widget extent instead of the default full screen
When you run infographics in Workflow mode, it will open in full screen mode by default. The new Run in widget option allows you to view infographic within the extent of the Business Analyst widget rather than opening it in full screen. Click Customize infographics button under Workflow mode to find this new option as shown below:

2. Batch export infographics directly to PDF, HTML, or Excel

The new Export directly option allows you to export multiple infographics (Maximum of 5) directly to PDF, Excel or HTML without viewing them first. Click Customize infographics button under Workflow mode to find this new option.

3. Cache infographic
Let's say you want to include a demographic profile infographic of your county in a public facing app, but worried about the potential credit consumption whenever someone opens the app. The new cache infographic functionality will resolve that specific concern. Caching creates a static copy of an infographic, which is stored with the Experience Builder app. You are charged 10 credits for each infographic you cache once. This is similar to the credit consumption when exporting infographic to PDF/HTML/Excel in Business Analyst web app products. Then, when the app is published and shared, there are no additional credit charges for viewing the infographic.
Caching infographic is only available in Preset mode.
Cache settingsCache settings
You must first set a location or geography, buffer (for point locations only) and infographic to enable caching. Click Cache settings to confirm your selection and then click Cache infographic. It will take few seconds to create a cached infographic, and you will see a confirmation message when the process is complete. Save and publish the app to save your cached infographic. You will be charged 10 credits for each infographic you cache upfront. So please make sure your infographic settings are correct before caching. Users of the app can view the cached infographic without incurring additional credits.
Please consider the following when using this feature:
- Infographic cache is helpful when sharing an application publicly or all organization members as there is no additional credit usage when it's viewed by users. The GeoEnrichment configuration must be configured and authorized when publishing the app if you plan to share the app publicly or with organization members that do not have GeoEnrichment privilege.
- Infographic cache is not recommended if your infographic is updated frequently, or if you want to dynamically run infographic on different input locations.
- A cached infographic is static. You cannot have it update based on interactions with the map or other widgets. For example, you can’t search for a new location on map and update the infographic for that new location.
- Cached infographic currently does not support customizing the display and export options.
When an infographic is cached, the location and data, buffer and infographic settings are automatically disabled. You must first Clear cache in order to make any changes. Please be aware that once you clear cache, the cached infographic is removed from the app and can't be recovered.
