ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App updates
The Business Analyst Enterprise 11.5 release includes updates to Business Analyst Web App that align with the November 2024 and February 2025 online releases There are several improvements, including the new benchmark comparisons workflow, enhancements to points of interest (POI) search, new geography comparisons, and more.
New benchmark comparisons workflow
Remember comparison reports? They have been completely reimagined in the new benchmark comparisons workflow. Benchmark comparisons include mapping capabilities, enhanced map style options using indicator methods, new ways to view and summarize data, and in-app documentation to understand the underlying calculations.
Enhancements to points of interest (POI) search
Explore enhancements to the points of interest (POI) search workflow, including redesigned search options to improve discoverability. Add an advanced search condition to prefilter your results and provide more specificity to the search query, showing only results that match at least one of the criteria. Use the new Place map style that provides default sets of POI icons for datasets, enabling one-click intuitive symbology.
Familiar with the Results pane in workflows like color-coded maps and suitability analysis? Now points of interest (POI) search has its own Results pane, featuring a summary, histogram, bubble chart or scatterplot, and downloadable table.
Use the improved Geography section
The workflow pane’s Geography section has been improved in color-coded maps, smart map search, suitability analysis, and benchmark comparisons. Depending on the data source you’re using, click the Group menu and select a list of grouped geographies (such as census geographies or school district geographies) and choose a geography level to map. You can also view an in-app glossary to read definitions for each geographic level if you’re using U.S. data sources.
New geography comparison
Analyze your sites in the new geography comparison table, available in a site’s pop-up menu and in the benchmark comparisons results pane table. Enhancements to geography comparison include customizing the table and setting preferences for default variables.
Infographic improvements
Infographics in Business Analyst have a number of key improvements, including many accessibility improvements, support for SVG logos, and improved logo customization.
