It\u2019s already been six months since the last Insights release, and the product team has been working hard within our home quarantine offices. We are extremely happy to announce that Insights 2021.1 (April) is now ready for you! The new version is available in ArcGIS Online<\/a>, as a desktop download<\/a>, and in My Esri<\/a> to deploy with ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1. This release is also “ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9 ready”, for when 10.9 becomes available later in May.<\/p>\n

This update is packed with a couple game-changing features, and many valuable enhancements top it all off. We listen hard to understand your highest priories and needs and can\u2019t wait to see what you can do next with these new capabilities.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Snowflake & Google BigQuery<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cloud-native storage has a lot of benefits, and now Insights can tap directly into this content. Snowflake<\/a> and Google BigQuery<\/a> are now directly accessible database connections. In most cases data will remain in the native data store, and Insights will push queries and operations down to the database level, which means high performance and support for bigger data.<\/p>\n

In this first release Insights will support the majority of data types<\/a>. As you may know, Snowflake and Google BigQuery both have a geography spatial data type. Insights will soon <\/em>support consuming their geography data type, and also will soon<\/em> support enabling locations<\/a> with these two new data connections. Aside from that, Insights works as usual with these connections.<\/p>\n

To make the connection follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the JDBC file from the vendor web site.<\/li>\n
  2. Zip the file and upload it into Insights.<\/li>\n
  3. Create the database connection using your specific connection property details.<\/li>\n
  4. Next, just add data to Insights and start analyzing! Have a look:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"
