Suitability Analysis raster data

[Dkumar18]

Hi, i am using the suitability analysis in the business analyst in Arcgis online. 
Is it possible to use raster data in the online version along with statical data available for utilization?

Hi @Dkumar18 , thanks for your question. At the moment, we do not support raster data. However, I'm very interested in learning more about the analysis you are planning. Could you please share more details?

@LinweiZeng Like for example, if i want to add any floodplain data to avoid buildings in that specific area or some other environmental data related to heat.

Hi @Dkumar18 

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, and thanks for the additional information!

At the moment, the Business Analyst Web App doesn’t support raster data directly. However, this is an interesting idea and could be a valuable enhancement — I’ll make sure to pass it along to the team for consideration in future updates.

As a workaround, you can use other Esri tools (like ArcGIS Pro) to convert your raster data into vector format. Once converted, you can bring that vector data into Business Analyst for mapping and analysis.

Cheers,
