However, Standard license users can also access advanced infographic capabilities through other users in their organization. A user with an Advanced license can help!<\/p>\n This is a neat workaround that allows Standard license users to run customized infographics on any area of their choosing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Creating custom data is an oft-traveled route for Advanced license Business Analyst Web App users. By importing and setting up their own data<\/a>, the Advanced user opens a whole new world of custom variables and bespoke data. Why should Standard license users miss out on all the fun and insights?<\/p>\n One way to circumvent this limitation is for an Advanced user to share custom data with users in their organization, including Standard users. This way, members of the organization at any license level can use custom variables through the data browser<\/a> in many workflows.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t overlook the Data shared with me<\/strong> tab in the data browser! This little tab contains multitudes when Advanced users share their custom data.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A big draw for Advanced license users is the ability to perform sophisticated analysis using cornerstone Business Analyst workflows: suitability analysis<\/a>, void analysis<\/a>, and threshold areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Currently, Standard license users can access only one of these analyses when shared by an Advanced license user: threshold areas. To share the threshold areas they have created, an Advanced user can share the whole project containing the analysis, which can then be accessed by other users regardless of license level.<\/p>\n In terms of sharing a suitability analysis or void analysis, it\u2019s not currently possible to share the actual analyses between license levels (though we\u2019re working on it!). You can, however, share the results of these workflows\u2014as an Excel file for suitability analysis and as a PDF file for void analysis. Not too shabby!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another, sometimes-overlooked way of sharing work between license levels in Business Analyst is the option of creating a dashboard or story that disseminates your sites, maps, and infographics.<\/p>\n Users with an Advanced license can create a story<\/a> or create a dashboard<\/a> and follow the workflow instructions to create shareable links, then send them to Standard license users.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2038872,"id":2038872,"title":"Picture13","filename":"Picture13.png","filesize":42755,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/sharing-collaboration\/how-to-collaborate-across-license-levels-in-arcgis-business-analyst-web-app\/picture13-7","alt":"ArcGIS Dashboards and ArcGIS StoryMaps workflows in Business Analyst","author":"78361","description":"","caption":"","name":"picture13-7","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2038622,"date":"2023-07-31 21:42:39","modified":"2023-07-31 21:43:02","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":524,"height":570,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","medium-width":240,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","medium_large-width":524,"medium_large-height":570,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","large-width":524,"large-height":570,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","1536x1536-width":524,"1536x1536-height":570,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","2048x2048-width":524,"2048x2048-height":570,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13-427x465.png","card_image-width":427,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Picture13.png","wide_image-width":524,"wide_image-height":570}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" Stay tuned, as the Business Analyst team is working on new ways of sharing content\u2014including advanced analysis features\u2014between license levels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nHow do I manage users\u2019 licenses in my organization?<\/h2>\n
