Insights for ArcGIS: An Introduction
Insights for ArcGIS is available as part of ArcGIS Enterprise and Online and provides a new user experience
for analysis that focuses on simpler ways to work with your data and share results. This includes
visualization, drag and drop analytics, and on-the-fly filtering and aggregations making interactive and
exploratory analysis fast and intuitive.
You will learn how to get started with Insights for ArcGIS, including adding data from numerous sources,
exploring some of the available analyses, and seeing how to share results and models, as we work through
some analysis examples.

Exploratory Analysis
• Charts, tables, and maps
• Interactivity between visualizations
• Context of the largest digital atlas in world
Data Preparation
• Format fields
• Calculate new fields
• Filter data
• Hide fields
• Rename fields and datasets
• Join datasets
GeoEnablement
• Geocode address
• Convert X,Y
• Join to boundaries
• Enrich proportionally with
demographic variables
• Descriptive stats
• Regression
• Link analysis
Statistical AnalysisSpatial Analysis
• How is it distributed?
• How is it related?
• What’s nearby?
• How has it changed?
Record & Repeat Analysis
• Share model to analysts
• Document best practices
• Re-run with new data
Share Results
• Share with executives
• Tell your story
• Share with public
Analysis creates new data and information, and finds answers..
Dashboards present the answers to others.
Insights is analysis first, reporting second
• Dashboards present answers
• A visualization or interaction that
communicates information
• Data remains within the visualization
• Analysis finds answers
• A process or procedure that
creates new information
• Derivative data available for re-use
in other systems
