The next update of ArcGIS Business Analyst and ArcGIS Community Analyst Web App is planned for February 22, 2023. Below are the planned updates. Please note that all planned updates are subject to change; thus, please check back to stay updated on the latest news regarding the upcoming release.
Our What’s New blog article and documentation will provide a comprehensive list of enhancements.
New infographic templates available in the infographics gallery
- Civilian Labor Force Profile: We crafted the Civilian Labor Force Profile infographic to offer insights on employment and labor force indicators based on the latest American Community Survey (ACS) data and local area unemployment statistics. This two-page visual is loaded with valuable information, including selected demographics, occupational classification, employment statistics, labor force measures, and unemployment information.
- Non-Profit Community Profile: This infographic is designed to help you navigate the crucial aspects of nonprofit development, including fundraising, building a strong team, and raising awareness. It provides a wealth of information about charitable spending and contributions, key volunteer behaviors, wealth index, and much more.
New data browser search option
The data browser now includes a new search option. In addition to search terms, you can now search for variables using the Variable Identifier (ID).

ArcGIS Experience Builder: Business Analyst widget enhancements & improvements
- New widget mode - Workflow mode: This mode allows the app end users to search for a POI/geography boundary, create buffers based on a selected area, and run infographics from the available list. App creators have full control of the end user experience for every step of the workflow. They can customize the search, buffer, infographics, and export options that are available to their end users.
- In the Workflow mode, users can now search by geography name or FIPS code.
- Exporting infographics to PDF (for both modes).
- Action triggers have been added to the Business Analyst widget’s functionality. The Business Analyst widget now works with multiple widgets that support feature/record selection (Table, List, Query, Map, and Search widgets).
- Incorporated GeoEnrichment proxy (subscriber content) to broaden accessibility of the widget to a wider audience who may not have the necessary privileges (GeoEnrichment and Network Analysis).
