Summarize Points Report (Business Analyst)

Summary

Aggregates data from a point layer (such as a customer layer) to a polygon layer (such as a trade area).

Learn more about how Summarize Points Report works

Usage

• This tool allows you to generate trade areas with appended customer or store-based data.

• Appended values must be volumetric/numeric.

• All values appended will be summed.

• Do not append medians, means, or averages.

• You can generate a report or a mapping layer with the selected appended values attributed.

• The mapping output will be thematically mapped based on the point count (that is, the number of points that fall within each polygon).

IDField	The ID field of the boundary layer.	Field
NameField	The name field associated with the boundary layer.	Field
SummarizePointsFields [SummarizePointsFields,...]	The fields (or attributes) of the point layer that will be appended and summed to the boundary layer.	Field
UseSelectedFeatures (Optional)	Uses selected points to summarize to the boundary layer. True —Uses selected points to summarize to the boundary layer. False —Summarizes the points to the boundary layer on all features. This is the default.	Boolean
