Hello Shirley and Josh, With the recent release of Business Analyst Web App (bao.arcgis.com), you can batch export a maximum of 100 infographics at once to HTML or PDF by going to Run Reports > Run Infographics:   Step 1: Add a maximum of 100 sites Step 2: Select Infographics Step 3: Toggle the Export option Step 4: Select the export format HTML or PDF or both Step 5: You can click on Credit estimate to see the credits  The sample Web AppBuilder app you mentioned above can be created after exporting infographics to HTML and hosting them on your web server. If you have an existing geography layer from ArcGIS Online you used to run these infographics on, you just need to add a new field in that feature service and add the corresponding infographic htmls for each feature. For example, here is a web map that shows the infographics urls for each State: You can then configure your layer in the web map to show the infographic links for each geography. Then you can take this web map and build a Web AppBuilder or Dashboard app in ArcGIS Online.  If you don't have an exiting layer, you can share your standard geography layer from BA to ArcGIS using the Share option and then use that layer by accessing it from ArcGIS Online. However, if you don't have the option to host these exported infographic HTMLs, you can explorer sharing it using story maps as shown in this blog: Sharing ArcGIS Business Analyst Infographics Via Esri Story Maps  Note: there is a 100 site limit in this workflow as well.  Josh, if you don't want to include the maps in the story map, you can uncheck this option when sharing: I hope this helps!

Hello Hannah, As you mentioned, the best tool to accomplish this is The Comparison Reports workflow as it lets you combine different site types into the report.  Currently, you can create a multi-feature tables in custom reports and infographics but it only works for rings, drive times, or walk times. For example, this will shows the 1, 3, 5 mile rings, or drive/walk times: Unlike comparison reports, this option does not allow to to combine other sites like polygons and standard geographies in to your custom reports. We have an existing enhancement to implement this functionality in the future. The other alternative you might want to try is side-by-side comparison using infographics: Side-by-side Comparison Infographics in ArcGIS Business Analyst  You can compare any sites as follows: I hope this helps.

Hello John, These two workflows might help you get the Square Footage Code of businesses using custom reports or infographics. A. Custom Reports. Go to Build Reports > Insert items > Nearby locations table Select Use Esri layers > expand businesses > and the square ft code is listed here: Run this report as a pdf or excel to get the list of businesses on your target site. Here is a sample excel report showing the square footage code: B. Infographics Go to Build Infographics > Add a Nearby table Select Use Esri layers > expand businesses > and the square ft code is listed here. You can add a Max of 500 businesses.  Then run this template on your desired site.  Hope this helps as a workaround for now. Thanks, Fasil T. Business Analyst Team ... View more

Hello LeeAnne, I agree it would be nice to have a hover over pop-up in ArcGIS Online similar to Business Analyst. May be you can submit this under the ArcGIS Online thread to get some feedback. However, most template and the map viewer in ArcGIS Online only open the pop-up when clicking on the features on the map as follows: You can also configure the layer's pop-up here if you like: Thanks, Fasil T.

Hello Sara and Michael, Although we don't have a specific time table when this functionality will be available, I would like to let you know that we are currently working on it as we've seen similar requests from other customers as well. When this is implemented, the exported infographics htmls will update dynamically when the data coming from a feature service is updated.  Thanks, Fasil T. Business Analyst Team ... View more

Another quick trick is to add any string value as follows to your table before importing it so that all the remaining values will be recognized as text fields during parsing.  Fasil ... View more

Hello A R, Please try removing the decimal separator from your excel table before importing. I used this how to https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/5303-remove-decimal-but-retain-value-in-excel.html  If you get his error when importing the newly formatted table, you might need to copy/paste the calculated values to new column as values and format it as text field and then delete the calculated column.    Please use this as a workaround for now and we'll see if we can improve the import experience in the BA Web App for the future. Thanks, Fasil T. Business Analyst Team ... View more

Hello Rachael, You should be able to change the color, make it transparent, or hide the banner.

Hi Jack, Yes, this is possible as long as your web map contains all the flow map layers. For example here, I have a web map that contains two flow maps (one in LAX and the other in SAN)  http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=519b9b590f624790a941ede61f5b6b79  When I build the infographics, I will simply add this web map by browsing to ArcGIS: Then, when I run this template for a site in LAX, the infographic will show the flow map within that site extent as follows: And when I run the same report on a site near SAN, I get the flow map in that area: I hope this is helpful.
