Using Individual Features

NoteNote:

The individual features option can result in duplicate point entries on reports where trade areas overlap.

Using a Whole Layer

You can run a Business Points report for individual features, for a whole layer, or for both options at the same time. The graphic below illustrates the output for the whole layer option.

NoteNote:

The whole layer approach will dissolve all polygons in the layer and create one report for all business points within the outermost boundary. Because of this, duplicate point entries, which can occur when using the individual features option, are not returned in the report.
