Infographics in ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App<\/a> are an interactive and visually compelling way to communicate facts, maps, and other indicators. We can share our ArcGIS Business Analyst infographics through an interactive dashboard: ArcGIS Dashboards.<\/p>\n

Wondering what is ArcGIS Dashboards, why and how to use it within ArcGIS Business Analyst? This is the right place! This blog article should answer all those questions and more.<\/p>\n

What is a dashboard?<\/h3>\n

ArcGIS Dashboards<\/a> create interactive visual displays that present data in an easy-to-read format. Sharing valuable information in a dashboard through beautiful infographics is a simple and engaging experience that brings data and maps to life.<\/p>\n

We can create and share the data and maps directly from within Business Analyst in only a few simple clicks. Dashboards can be shared as a single URL with our organization and groups as well as to the public for easy access.<\/p>\n

Now that we know \u201cwhat\u201d dashboards are and \u201cwhy\u201d they are a great way to share important information, let\u2019s learn the fun part, \u201chow\u201d to use them in Business Analyst.<\/p>\n

How can we make a dashboard in Business Analyst?<\/h3>\n

We will begin by defining sites to include in our dashboard. For this example, we’ll use census subdivisions around the city of Toronto to better understand the diversity of the people that live in each area and their distinct demographics and behaviors.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","content":"

Step 1: Define the study area<\/h3>\n

In Business Analyst Web App, use the Data source <\/strong>drop-down menu to select Canada<\/strong>. Zoom into the city of Toronto.<\/p>\n

To select census subdivisions around Toronto, you can use the Select geography <\/strong>tool<\/a> to select from areas on the map.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2952250,"id":2952250,"title":"share 1","filename":"share-1.png","filesize":123187,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/business\/sharing-infographics-in-arcgis-dashboards-from-arcgis-business-analyst\/share-1","alt":"Sites representing census subdivisions around Toronto","author":"321952","description":"","caption":"","name":"share-1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1236122,"date":"2025-12-18 19:44:44","modified":"2025-12-18 19:44:48","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":387,"height":433,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","medium-width":233,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","medium_large-width":387,"medium_large-height":433,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","large-width":387,"large-height":433,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","1536x1536-width":387,"1536x1536-height":433,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","2048x2048-width":387,"2048x2048-height":433,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","card_image-width":387,"card_image-height":433,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/share-1.png","wide_image-width":387,"wide_image-height":433}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
