Measure
Part of the Analysis tools family, you will need to sign into ArcGIS to access the newest analysis tools. The measure tool leverages linear and perimeter distance using advanced algorithms to account for the true/ unique shape of the Earth (ellipsoid-based geodesic calculation).

Color and Size
Explore your data in different ways through a variety of smart mapping styles. When you style map layers, the type of data determines the default styling options. You can experiment with color ramps, line weights, transparency, symbols, and other graphic elements, and see your choices reflected immediately on the map.
In the Styling pane when you style with two variables (by size and/ or color), you can study this association through a table or visualize it in a graph. You now have this where you can establish relationships and see that colors gradually change to show a pattern.
For example, in the image below two data attributes on a map that study the relationship between an area’s zipcode and the tree species population in them shown.

Connecting a SharePoint list to ArcGIS for SharePoint
You can then use a SharePoint list to interact with the map. When you add ArcGIS for SharePoint and a SharePoint list to a SharePoint page, you can connect the two web parts and interact with the map layers using the added list or lists. Once a link is established between the two web parts, you can use the SharePoint list to interact with the map by selecting records from the list and viewing the filtered features on the map.
