The Business Analyst widget allows you to view more information about any point or polygon feature on the map, by running reports and infographics for it. The point or polygon feature may be part of a web map layer you opened. The widget also allows you to add a new location by placing a pin on the map and applying rings, drive times, or walk times around it.
