Rerun your analysis

ArcGIS Insights automatically captures every step of your analysis in the analysis view for your workbook page. The steps can be shared as a model and then added to an Insights workbook and rerun using the same or different data.

Update your page

If you have already run analysis on your page, you can rerun the analysis from the analysis view by updating the data in the model, or by changing the parameters in your spatial analysis.

Complete the following steps to update the data and rerun the analysis on an existing page:

1. If necessary, add the dataset you want to use to rerun the analysis.
2. Click the Analysis view button .

   The Insights page changes to show the analysis steps in order, starting with the datasets used in your analysis.

3. Click Update on the dataset bubble you want to update.

   The Replace data pane appears.

4. Update the Choose a dataset parameter to use the new dataset. If necessary, under the Replace fields parameter, update the replacement field for each original field.
5. Click Update.

   The analysis runs using the updated dataset.

6. Update the remaining datasets, if necessary.
7. Click Page view to return to your cards.

Complete the following steps to update the parameters and rerun the analysis on an existing page:

1. Click the Analysis view button , if you're not already in the analysis view.
2. Click a step in the model that represents a spatial analysis capability, such as Spatial Aggregation.

   The side toolbar appears next to the step in the model.

3. Click Edit .

   The panel appears. You can't choose a different map layer for the spatial analysis, but you can adjust other parameters.

4. Change the parameters as necessary.
5. Click Update.

   The analysis runs and overwrites the previous results in the data pane.

6. Click the Page view button to see the updated map on your page.

Run a model

If you want to use a shared model, you must add the model to your page, as well as the data you want to use for your analysis.

Note:

If you did not create the model, the owner of a model must share the model item with you before you can use it.

Run a model from an open workbook

Complete the following steps to run a model in an open workbook:

1. Click the Add to page button to open the Add to page window.
2. If necessary, choose your data.
3. Under Add to page, click the Models tab .
4. To add your own model or a model from your organization, complete the following steps:
   1. Click the tab for your organization.
   2. Use the menu to switch between My content, My groups, and My organization, if necessary.

      

      Tip:

      If you are unsure where to find the model, choose My organization. All models from your content and groups are also available from My organization.

      The available models are listed in the content pane.

5. To add a publicly shared model from ArcGIS Online, complete the following steps:

   Note:

   You must be allowed to search for content outside your organization to access public ArcGIS Online content from Insights in ArcGIS Online.

   1. Click the ArcGIS public tab.
   2. Use the menu to switch between Public content and Public groups, if necessary.

      The available models are listed in the content pane.

6. If you want more information about a model in the list, such as a description, click View details.
7. Choose the model and click Add.

   Placeholder cards are added to your page in place of the cards from the original page.

   Note:

   This workflow assumes you are using Page view . If you prefer to use Analysis view , continue with the steps in Update your page.

8. Click the name of one of the datasets on a placeholder card.

   The Dataset pane appears.

9. Update the Choose a dataset parameter to use the new dataset. If necessary, under the Replace fields parameter, update the replacement field for each original field.
10. Click Update.

    The analysis runs using the updated dataset.

11. Update the remaining datasets, if necessary.

Run a model in a new workbook

Complete the following steps to run a model in a new workbook:

1. Open Insights and sign in to access the home page.
2. Click the Models tab .
3. Find the model you want to open. Use the search bar, filter button , View items button , and Sort button , if necessary.
4. Click the name of the model.

   A new workbook is created and the Add to page window opens with the model selected.

5. Click the Data tab.
6. Select the data you want to use in the model and click Add.

   Placeholder cards are added to your page in place of the cards from the original page.

   Note:

   This workflow assumes you are using Page view . If you prefer to use Analysis view , continue with the steps in Update your page.

7. Click the name of one of the datasets on a placeholder card.

   The Dataset pane appears.

8. Update the Choose a dataset parameter to use the new dataset. If necessary, under the Replace fields parameter, update the replacement field for each original field.
9. Click Update.

   The analysis runs using the updated dataset.

10. Update the remaining datasets, if necessary.

Model example

Below is the page view of a weekly sales-by-store analysis that visualizes results as a bar chart and a graduated symbol map.

Below is a model of the analysis from the analysis view:

This model shows the steps that were involved in creating the results shown in the page view:

1. Add two datasets to your page.
2. Enable location in the first dataset.
3. Create a relationship to join the two datasets.
4. Aggregate the data by categories to create a bar chart.
5. Aggregate the data by geography to create a graduated symbol map.
6. Style the map according to the chosen field. This happens automatically when a map is created.

Note:

Although the model indicates that a join (step 3) was performed on the two datasets, it shows them as separate dataset bubbles. You can switch between the datasets to select the fields from either dataset to rerun the analysis.
