PROBLEM

Unable to export a side-by-side comparison infographic PDF report for all buffers in ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App

Last Published: February 1, 2023

Description

In ArcGIS Business Analyst Web App, when attempting to export an infographic PDF report for all buffers of a site, only one of the buffers' infographics is displayed in the report. As shown in the image below, exporting the infographic PDF report results in only one of the buffers' infographics with a radius of '0 - 1 miles' displayed in the panels.

Cause

This is by design when a comparison table is added to a panel of an infographic template. Adding a comparison table to a panel causes the panel to display a drop-down menu of the buffers in the app, therefore allowing only one set of data from a buffer to be displayed and exported to an infographic PDF report at a time.
