Usage notes

- The selected dataset can be installed locally or accessed from ArcGIS Enterprise when signed in.
- Local changes override the global dataset until completion of a single geoprocessing tool session or cancellation.
- Through ArcGIS Enterprise or the REST API, a country or region can be selected to activate the corresponding dataset for analysis.
- The use of installed Business Analyst United States or Canada datasets requires a data license.
