Need clarification on Community Analyst Credits

Question

We just purchased Community Analyst.  While exploring the functionality I added a pin, created walk time areas, scrolled through infographics and used the "Create PDF or Image" button.  This cost me 12 credits and I am a bit confused, especially after referencing the breakdown of credits.  I can see 1.5 for drive times, and maybe a credit or so for Infographics.  So does generating a map cost the same as generating a report - 10 credits.  I realize 12 credits is really nothing to worry about but for future reference it would be good to know if map production costs this many credits.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the feedback. We will work on making this information more easy to find.

Just wondering though if you were able to find these two resources:

* Understand credits—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  
* ArcGIS Online | Service Credits

and if you found them helpful?

Thanks,

Praveen
