There is no \u201cone size fits all\u201d solution. The choice of product and method will depend on content, customer preference and need. Some of you might come up with a bespoke in-house solution such as recreating your pages and any new ones in ArcGIS Experience Builder, using message actions and triggers to control interactions and ArcGIS Notebooks to add custom tools. Some might seek out an alternative provider.<\/p>\n
Those of you with simpler workflows may be able to transition your work into one of our \u201cout of the box\u201d offerings using one of the two methods I\u2019m going to outline below for ArcGIS Dashboards and in a sister article for ArcGIS for Power BI<\/a>. Each product has its own help documentation and getting started pages, but I\u2019m going to introduce and explain them with Insights in mind.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" <\/p>\n If the main component of your previous work was a visual display of data, i.e., as maps and charts, without needing to make further use of the analysis tools, then Dashboards could be for you. As the name suggests, it is a product for making dashboards. Although the depth of the geovisual analytics functionality differs from Insights, it is easy to set up and use and offers a lot of card or chart customization. As well as maps it offers pie charts, gauges and indicators, and series charts. Just like Insights, there is an edit mode as well as a view mode, and interactivity exists between the items on the page.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2893702,"id":2893702,"title":"MigrationCharts-1-resized","filename":"MigrationCharts-1-resized-1.png","filesize":43266,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/insights\/analytics\/recreating-an-arcgis-insights-page-using-arcgis-dashboards\/migrationcharts-1-resized-2","alt":"","author":"33851","description":"","caption":"","name":"migrationcharts-1-resized-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2892812,"date":"2025-07-11 17:04:48","modified":"2025-07-11 17:04:48","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":2683,"height":858,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":148,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":246,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1.png","large-width":1920,"large-height":614,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1-1536x491.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":491,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1-2048x655.png","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":655,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1-826x264.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":264,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MigrationCharts-1-resized-1-1920x614.png","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":614}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":" Unlike Insights, you cannot construct your map or load local data in Dashboards.
