The December update of Community Analyst is here! This update enables you to add users to projects,\u00a0 insert maps in custom reports, experience a new interactive comparison reports,\u00a0use validation on location attributes, leverage major enhancements to infographics and suitability analysis, and much more.<\/p>\n

Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n

Easily Add Others to Your Project<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Share your work with other users in just a few clicks. Add individual users or the whole organization to your project and collaborate more easily. For example, create a layer of all community center locations in your project. Users added to your project can simply access and use that layer without having to recreate it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Insert Maps in Custom Reports<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

When building a custom report, you now have an option ability to insert a map in the report. Show the location of your site or add any other web map such as a map of all existing community center locations in your custom reports.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Compare Multiple Sites Interactively<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Try a new way of comparing information for multiple sites. Quickly build interactive comparison and benchmark tables and charts. Use sites, neighboring geographies, Esri Demographics or your own data variables, and statistical values (i.e. average and median). Configure them by dragging and dropping rows and columns and create your desired comparison report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Run Reports and Infographics More Efficiently<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Easily run reports and infographics for sites from multiple projects or on the map. Running infographics is now added to the Reports tab so you can run infographics without going on the Maps tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prefilter Suitability Analysis Candidate Locations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Use ArcGIS layers in Suitability Analysis and prefilter locations that don\u2019t meet specific criteria before running the analysis. For example, let\u2019s say you have a layer of potential building locations that you are evaluating. You want to eliminate buildings that have really high rent or that are in wrong zoning or that are not two-story buildings. The prefiltering option helps prepare the right candidate locations and then run suitability analysis only on those.<\/p>\n
