The next update of Community Analyst is planned for late Q3 2018. Here are the key highlights of what\u2019s planned for this release:<\/p>\n

Customize the Web App by User Roles<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an admin, you can already customize the logo, title, and the theme color to give the web app your own branding. With the next release, you will be able to disable and enable different workflows in the application by various pre-defined and custom roles in ArcGIS.<\/p>\n

For example, let\u2019s say you have two custom roles in ArcGIS Online. Users in the first custom role are occasional users who primarily view maps, create sites, and run reports in the Community Analyst. Users in the second custom role are power users who create and setup custom data and report templates so others in the organization can use them. To simplify the app experience for the occasional users, the organization\u2019s admin can enable only the mapping, site creation, and report running workflows and hide all other workflows. Similarly, for the power users, the admin can keep all the workflows or enable only the Custom Data Setup and Build workflows for Reports and Infographics and hide Color-coded Maps, Smart Map Search, and Business and Facilities Search.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":309142,"id":309142,"title":"CA Customize App by Roles","filename":"CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","filesize":40994,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/apps\/analytics\/whats-coming-in-community-analyst-6\/ca-customize-app-by-roles","alt":"","author":"5521","description":"","caption":"","name":"ca-customize-app-by-roles","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":308862,"date":"2018-08-28 21:08:18","modified":"2018-08-28 21:08:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":947,"height":528,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":119,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":259,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":428,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","large-width":947,"large-height":528,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","1536x1536-width":947,"1536x1536-height":528,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","2048x2048-width":947,"2048x2048-height":528,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":461,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA-Customize-App-by-Roles.jpg","wide_image-width":947,"wide_image-height":528}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Compare Multiple Study Areas in Infographics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summarize information for multiple study areas in a single summary table. For example, compare key demographic facts such as population, income, age, and household size for 1, 3, 5-mile rings around a location. Having this information in a summary table also helps you minimize switching between different rings when comparing multiple study areas.<\/p>\n

You will be able to simply run the globally available new Esri starter template called Multi-ring Comparison, use one of the Esri starter panels that provide comparison summaries on different set of variables, or create your own comparison tables.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":309152,"id":309152,"title":"CA_Multi-ring Comparison_All","filename":"CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","filesize":136000,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/apps\/analytics\/whats-coming-in-community-analyst-6\/ca_multi-ring-comparison_all","alt":"","author":"5521","description":"","caption":"","name":"ca_multi-ring-comparison_all","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":308862,"date":"2018-08-28 21:08:23","modified":"2018-08-28 21:08:23","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1392,"height":804,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":123,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","medium-width":452,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":444,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","large-width":1392,"large-height":804,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","1536x1536-width":1392,"1536x1536-height":804,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","2048x2048-width":1392,"2048x2048-height":804,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","card_image-width":805,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/CA_Multi-ring-Comparison_All.jpg","wide_image-width":1392,"wide_image-height":804}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Share Comparison Reports with Others<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can already build interactive comparison and benchmark tables and charts to understand information about multiple locations using the New Comparison Reports workflow. With the next release, you will be able to share comparison report templates with other users in your organization as well as use the comparison reports that others have shared with you.<\/p>\n

For example, let\u2019s say your organization is often using key demographic variables (e.g. population, income, age) and custom data (e.g. sales) variables to compare multiple sites. You can setup a comparison report template with these variables and share with others which can be run for any set of sites without having to recreate the template \u2013 providing a more efficient and consistent comparison report across your organization.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":307402,"id":307402,"title":"share comparison reports1","filename":"share-comparison-reports1.jpg","filesize":75984,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/bus-analyst\/analytics\/whats-coming-in-business-analyst-web-and-mobile-apps\/share-comparison-reports1","alt":"","author":"5521","description":"","caption":"","name":"share-comparison-reports1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":307102,"date":"2018-08-24 23:14:36","modified":"2018-08-24 23:14:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1379,"height":729,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":113,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","medium-width":464,"medium-height":245,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":406,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","large-width":1379,"large-height":729,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","1536x1536-width":1379,"1536x1536-height":729,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","2048x2048-width":1379,"2048x2048-height":729,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":437,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/08\/share-comparison-reports1.jpg","wide_image-width":1379,"wide_image-height":729}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
