Business Analyst reports

  • Basic Business Analyst Dataset
  • Standard Business Analyst Dataset
  • Analytical Reports

This section examines the various templates associated with the report writing option within Business Analyst. All templates use geography data; therefore, all levels of geography can be used in any of the predefined reports. Report templates are stored in C:\arcgis\Business Analyst\US_2015\Datasets\Report Templates in the directory where ArcGIS was installed. If you create custom reports and want them available for future use, save them in the directory \My Output Data\Report Templates_USA_ESRI_2015.

Business Analyst includes the following preset report templates to make use of the demographic data provided. You can use these templates as they are or revise them using Fusion Report Designer.

Business Analyst also provides access to reports in the cloud. Once your online credentials are setup and entered in the Preferences > Online tab in Business Analyst, you will always have access to data and reports available in the Esri cloud. The online data is available in Color-Coded Maps, various analysis wizards and the Report wizard. See Setting up online access for more information.

Note:

The Tapestry Segmentation Area Profile is turned off by default and hidden in the Reports wizard. This is the default because the Tapestry data is not available at the block group level with a standard Business Analyst license but requires a premium license. As a result, when the report is run, it produces null values because the data apportionment method is set to block groups by default. To remedy this, change your lowest level data layer from block groups to census tracts in your Business Analyst Preferences > Data tab > Advanced section. This ensures the tract level containing the Tapestry data is used. When you access the summary reports page in the Reports wizard, the Tapestry Segmentation Area Profile appears in the list.
