Insights for ArcGIS<\/a> just got better! In the 2.0 release, you get optimized analysis tools to reveal more of the patterns, trends, and relationships that are hidden in your data. Now you can do powerful exploratory analysis faster and easier than ever.<\/p>\n

What makes it faster and easier? Take a look at the arsenal of capabilities you can take advantage of with Insights for ArcGIS 2.0 and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1.<\/p>\n

Examine data with greater speed and performance<\/h2>\n

Just when you thought Insights couldn\u2019t perform any better, it\u2019s now faster at loading data and performing analysis. This makes it so much easier for you to explore large datasets or multiple data sources, and identify gaps. Maybe most importantly, it means you can quickly visualize and understand your data before you take it to ArcGIS Pro for advanced analysis work.<\/p>\n

Is your organization an Oracle shop? Insights for ArcGIS 2.0 has added support for Oracle databases.\u00a0 You can now connect directly to Oracle databases from within Insights, as well as previously supported SQL Server, SAP HANA, and Teradata databases. This includes support for R scripts in views and stored procedures within supported native relational databases.\u00a0Creating direct database connections means that you can easily access your data from Insights and see increased performance with database data.<\/p>\n

Comma separated value (CSV) files can now be used the same as Excel workbooks, meaning you do not have to convert your CSV data to an Excel Workbook before you begin your analysis.<\/p>\n

It is also easier to access your previously available data from Living Atlas, standard boundaries, and Groups in ArcGIS Enterprise.\u00a0 Tabs for these data sources have been added to the Add to Page<\/strong> pane so that you can easily find and access the data you need.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we added new functions for calculating fields so you can manipulate your data and perform analysis directly in Insights. Big time saver!<\/p>\n

More chart options to explore and analyze your data<\/h2>\n

Visualize and analyze your data in new ways with four chart types that are now available in Insights:\u00a0 Box plots, data clocks, chord diagrams, and heat charts.\u00a0 Charts are an important non-spatial addition to your analysis that can help you learn more about your data.\u00a0 When paired with a map using the same dataset, charts can be used to select data and visualize both the spatial and non-spatial distribution at the same time.<\/p>\n

Some charts, such as scatter plots, now have the ability to switch between logarithmic and linear scales.\u00a0 Logarithmic scales are an important tool for visualizing data that is spread across large numeric ranges or has outliers. This makes finding relationships and patterns in data so much easier.<\/p>\n

More style control over your visualizations<\/h2>\n

There have been new additions to help you customize the look of your maps.\u00a0 The improved legend includes the ability to style your data using an expanded color pallet or custom colors using hex values. New at Insights 2.0, you can also change the basemap of a single card or an entire page from directly within Insights. These changes mean that it is easier for you to make sure that your maps tell the story that you want them to tell<\/p>\n

Preview support for ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server<\/h2>\n

Support for ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server is now in Preview mode.\u00a0 If GeoAnalytics Server is configured with your ArcGIS Enterprise organization, then you now have access to hosted feature layers with data stored in the spatiotemporal big data store within Insights. Distributed storage and analytics from GeoAnalytics Server will be used automatically when applicable.<\/p>\n
