The next update of Business Analyst Web App is planned for late Q2 2018 prior to Esri users conference. Here are the key highlights of what’s planned for this release: Access 2018/2023 U.S. Demographics and Global Data Updates 2018/2023 estimates and projections for U.S. demographics 2018 daytime population, consumer spending, market potential, Tapestry segmentation, business locations, shopping centers, traffic counts and more 2012-2016 American Community Survey (ACS) Demographics Michael-Bauer Research data updates for 30+ countries primarily in Europe Summarize Nearby Locations Which restaurants are within a mile of a new proposed sandwich location? What intersections around my site have high traffic counts? Which coffee shops within 10 minutes from a location get a lot of customers? Answer questions like these and more using the new Nearby capability in Reports and Infographics. Simply select a location and run the new Nearby Restaurants infographics template to understand the market landscape for restaurants in your target area. You can also easily customize it by using the Nearby option when building infographics or reports and summarize locations around a site using the data included with BA Web such as businesses, shopping centers, or traffic counts or using your own point locations layer (e.g. crime locations). Choose specific businesses (e.g. pizza places or burger joints), select attributes (e.g. sales, number of employees), and include distance and direction from your site to create a summary table and a map showing the nearby locations. Use Filtering to Show Locations that Meet Your Criteria Apply attribute-based filters and limit the locations shown in your sites or ArcGIS layers. For example, let’s say you bring in a crime layer from ArcGIS Online and you only want to show arson fires that occurred within the last month. By filtering the crime layer based on crime type and time, you can show patterns of where recent arsons occurred and help your police department prevent future arson attempts.  Or perhaps you have site locations across the US and only want to show stores located in California, or that have store area above 5,000 sq. ft. You will be able to use the Filter by Attributes option to get a subset of those filtered locations. Compare Sites with Geographies in One Click How do key demographic facts for a 1-mile ring around 380 New York St., Redlands compare to the geographies where the ring is located, i.e. zip code: 92373, county: San Bernardino and state: California? Get the results in one click using the new Geography Comparison template. Get a New Tapestry Poster Style Infographics Like the Esri Tapestry poster? Now get your infographics in a Tapestry poster style look and feel using the new Tapestry Profile template. Understand Tapestry LifeMode groups, Tapestry segments, age profile, education and more for any U.S. locations. Easily Categorize and Browse Your Own Data Using your own data, as well as data gathered from public agencies and third-party vendors is a critical part of your market analysis. For example, store sales, number of customers, crime records, economic indicators, and regional demographic data provided by vendors in your country. Often these datasets have a large number of variables and categories similar to Esri Demographics data. Using the custom data setup workflow, you have already been able to bring in and use such data in BA Web. With the next release, you will be able to create your own data categories and sub-categories to display in the Data Browser and assign them with custom icons.  You can then distribute variables from your data and organize in those custom categories;  essentially creating your own data browsing experience similar to the experience available for Esri Demographics data. Stay tuned for the release! Please note that all planned updates are subject to change without notice. A comprehensive list of implemented updates will be provided in a post-release What’s New blog. ... View more

The April update of Business Analyst Web App is here! This update brings several enhancements including the new options for using competitive layers in Suitability Analysis, more streamlined experience with ArcGIS Online for finding and adding ArcGIS content, and improvements for the Build Infographics and New Comparison Reports workflows. Here are the highlights:   Use New Options for Competitor Locations in Suitability Analysis Optimize suitability analysis with improved competitive landscape input around your sites. Select from these options when choosing how the competitor layer contributes to the analysis: Count of points allows you to use the number of competitors that fall within your sites. Summarize layer attribute allows you to choose any attribute from the point layer e.g. use the sum of the sales volume values of all the competitors that fall within your sites. Distance to nearest point allows you to use the distance of the nearest competitor from your site. Compare Locations Visually and Interactively Create and organize custom comparison reports more easily. Use a good performing location as a benchmark to evaluate other locations against it. Create multi-variable charts and more informative visualizations in just a few clicks. Learn more. Add ArcGIS Content More Efficiently Easily find and add content from ArcGIS Online including the maps and layers you own, from groups, organization, and Living Atlas, as well as publicly available. Use various filtering, sorting, and search options and get a content browsing experience consistent with what it is in ArcGIS Online. Learn more. You will also notice that the More Maps button is replaced by a Basemaps icon to provide an easier way for changing basemaps. The experience of adding data from ArcGIS Online will continue to be available from the Add Data menu along with other options for bringing data in the BA Web App. Create Custom Variables from Your Own Data Calculate derived variables from your own data variables which are brought in using the Custom Data Setup workflow. For example, let’s say you have quarterly sales variables (e.g. Q1 sales, Q2 sales) added in BA Web as custom data. You will be able to create a custom variable by adding Q1 and Q2 sales to determine the sales for the first half of the year or by subtracting Q2 sales from Q1 to determine quarterly sales change. Use More Customization Options in Infographics Create custom age pyramids. For example, use the Population by Age distribution variables for France and create an age pyramid to understand male and female population distribution by age in one view. Create charts using negative values. For example, easily visualize demand and supply using positive and negative values respectively for them. Use text attributes from your own data in reports and infographics. For example, include the text-based parcel land use information in custom reports and infographics and put it together with numerical data (e.g. demographics) aggregated for your sites. Set up minimum and maximum range values for gauge charts Export and save drill-down panels as images Global Data Updates This release includes data updates for several countries. Learn more on the Esri Demographics page. Michael-Bauer Research data update to 2017 vintage for Western European countries including Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, UK, and more and to 2016 vintage for Oceania, Caribbean, North Africa, and Sub-Sahara African countries. Germany—The Advanced dataset from Nexiga was updated to include four additional data variables: Total Births, Total Deceased, Total Male Population, and Total Female Population. Japan—The Advanced dataset from Esri Japan was updated to include 2015 Census and Income and 2016 Spending and Savings data and more.
