Comparison reports<\/a> allow you to create reports that compare your sites based on a set of popular categories. These popular categories include population, households, income, and housing as well as customizable reports. Did you know site comparisons can be run in the ArcGIS Business Analyst Web Application<\/a> and ArcGIS Business Analyst Mobile Application<\/a>? In this article, let us learn how to do side-by-side comparisons using the Business Analyst Web App as well as the Mobile App, and go over some tips and tricks for viewing and using them.<\/p>\n

          Comparing sites in the Web Application versus the Mobile Application<\/h2>\n
            \n
          1. More geography levels can be compared against the chosen site in the Web App, while you can compare against only one geography level at a time in the Mobile App.<\/li>\n
          2. Any site can be made the benchmark for comparison in the Web App, while there is only one benchmark geography level or one other site to play around with at a time in the Mobile App.<\/li>\n
          3. You can save, export, or print the comparisons made in the Web App, while there is no save, export, or print option in the Mobile App.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
