Verwendung

• This tool allows you to examine the pattern and distribution of customers in relation to a corresponding store location.

• The customer layer must be a point feature layer.

• In ArcMap, customer points will only be used in the report if they are within the active study area or analysis extent.

• The Wind Rose chart divides a customer layer into different geographic sectors (N, NE, NW, S, SE, and so on). Because the sectors divide the entire distribution of customer locations around a store location, a circular buffer is created around the store that encompasses all the store points. This circle is then divided into sectors.

• You can use the Cutoff Distance option to limit the size of the circular buffer created around each store location.

• An even number of sectors is recommended.

• A value of at least four sectors is recommended.

• The proportion of customers in each sector can be calculated using a weight value associated with each customer record.

• Use the Customer Setup tools if your customers are not already associated with a store location.

Syntax

WindRoseReport_ba (InputFeatureLayer, IDField, All_Or_Single_Or_Selected, CustomerLayer, InCustomerStoreIDField, CustomerWeightField, NumberOfSectors, ReportName, ReportTitle, OutputFolder, {ByID_Or_ByName}, {Single_Site}, {UseSelectedFeatures}, {ExcludeOutlyingCustomers}, {CutoffDistance}, {MeasureUnits}, {ReportFormats})

Parameter	Erläuterung	Datentyp
InputFeatureLayer	The input feature class containing center points for the report. In most cases, this will be a Business Analyst store layer. Distance and direction will be measured from these points.	Feature Layer
IDField	Unique ID field in the center points (store) layer. Distances will be calculated from these points.	Field
All_Or_Single_Or_Selected	Creates Wind Rose Reports for the points in the input feature layer. All —Reports are created for all points. Single —Reports are created for a single point. Selected —Reports are created for selected points in ArcMap.	String
CustomerLayer	The input feature class containing the points for the customer distribution. In most cases, this will be a Business Analyst customer layer. Distance and direction will be measured from the store center points to features in this point layer.	Feature Layer
InCustomerStoreIDField	The store ID field that will be used to identify which customers are associated with each store.	Field
CustomerWeightField	The proportion of customers in each sector can be calculated by using a weight value associated with each customer record. If you do not want to use a weight field, set the weight field to the first value of <none>.	Field
NumberOfSectors	Determines the number of sectors in the Wind Rose diagram.	Long
ReportName	Name for the report file.	String
ReportTitle	Title for the report.	String
OutputFolder	The report is created in this output directory.	Folder
ByID_Or_ByName (optional)	Field used to select a single point. ID —Selects a single point using the store ID field. Name —Selects a single point using the store name field.	String
Single_Site (optional)	ID or name of store to be used as the single point.	String
UseSelectedFeatures (optional)	Uses selected features to generate the Wind Rose Report. True —Generates the Wind Rose Report on selected features False —Generates the Wind Rose Report on all features. This is the default.	Boolean
ExcludeOutlyingCustomers (optional)	Sets a cutoff distance to remove outlying feature points from the report. TRUE —Excludes outlying customers. FALSE —Does not exclude outlying customers.	Boolean
CutoffDistance (optional)	The threshold beyond which to exclude outlying customers from the analysis.	Double
MeasureUnits (optional)	The units used with the distance values. By default, the units defined in the Business Analyst preferences will be selected. Decimal Degrees —Missing Value Feet —Missing Value Kilometers —Missing Value Meters —Missing Value Miles —Missing Value Nautical Miles —Missing Value Yards —Missing Value	String
ReportFormats (optional)	Select the desired report output format Simple XML — PDF — HTML — CSV — ZIP — XLSV — Stripped XLSX —	String
