ArcGIS Insights<\/a> combines data visualization and analysis to accelerate decision making. From interactive charts and maps to advanced analytics, Insights offers a wide array of capabilities to help you understand your data, answer important questions, and create interactive reports.<\/p>\n

The Insights 2023.2 release (August 2023) includes enhancements to maps that allow you to remove a basemap and rotate a map, new configurations for heat maps, and a PERCENTTOTAL function for calculated fields and advanced filters. Keep reading to learn more about these new features so you can try them out the next time you use Insights.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Map enhancements<\/h1>\n

You can now rotate a map and remove basemap layers from map cards.

PERCENTTOTAL function<\/h1>\n

The PERCENTTOTAL function allows you to calculate proportions of each value in a field using the field total. The PERCENTTOTAL function can be used in field calculations and advanced filters.<\/p>\n

In previous releases proportions could be calculated by dividing the field by the sum of the same field. In the example below, the proportion is calculated using the equation POP2020\/SUM(POP2020). In Insights 2023.2, the PERCENTTOTAL function can be used to complete the same calculation in one step.
