Geoprocessingtools can be considered as web tools that can shared with others. Users organize their tools into toolboxes and share with on their GIS. You can search for geoprocessing tools just like you search for any other item.
In ArcGIS API for Python, geoprocessing toolboxes are represented as Python modules and the individual tools as Python functions. These tools, represented as Python functions, take in a set of input parameters and return one or more output values.
The import_toolbox() function in the arcgis.geoprocessing module imports geoprocessing toolboxes as native Python modules. It accepts a toolbox location which could be a Geoprocessing Toolbox item in your GIS, or a URL to a Geoprocessing Service.
The import_toolbox() function inspects the geoprocessing toolbox and dynamically generates a Python module containing a function for each tool within the toolbox. Invoking the function invokes the corresponding geoprocessing tool.
The code snippet below uses Python's inspect module to list the public functions in the imported module. Developers will typically use their IDE's intellisense to discover the functions in the module.
As shown in the example above, tool functions are annotated using type hints to help indicate the input they accept and the output they produce. The function signature includes default values for the input parameters, so the caller doesn't have to specify them unless required. Parameter documentation includes a description of each parameter, it's expected type, and whether it is required or optional. If the parameter accepts from a list of input values, that list is included with the documentation as a 'Choice List'. The documentation includes the type and description of the functions return value.

Cause This is expected behavior when opening the tools list on a map. The Exploratory 3D Analysis tools can only be fully utilized in a scene. 2D maps lack depth and elevation properties in comparison to local or global scenes. By default, tools that are unusable for 2D maps are hidden.
ArcGIS for Power BI is a mapping visualization that helps you to enrich your data, reports, and dashboards. It offers mapping capabilities, demographic data, location analytics, and spatial analysis tools. Use these tools to demonstrate patterns in and add insight to your data. You can create and view ArcGIS map visualizations in the Power BI service or Power BI Desktop. See the Considerations and limitations section in this article for details. This tutorial uses Power BI Desktop.
With ArcGIS for Power BI's robust mapping capabilities, use smart-map themes to predict the best way to illustrate your data, highlight areas in your report and use local demographics. These capabilities add relevant regional context, and refine the symbology you use to improve your report's overall clarity.
Combining authoritative data layers on a map with spatial analysis helps you explore the complexities behind your Power BI data. For example, you can use ArcGIS for Power BI to provide regional insight into sales figures. The following example shows regional sales by size on a per-City basis against a demographic layer of US Census average household income (dark blue=higher income) in the selected area.
This demographic data layer provides insight, for example, into how household income and store locations might affect current sales and influence future purchasing, advertising, or store site selection decisions.
As a report designer, you can share an ArcGIS for Power BI map with a colleague who can view and interact with the map. Your colleague cannot save changes to your map. Further, you currently cannot create an ArcGIS for Power BI map on a mobile device, but you can view and interact with it.
ArcGIS for Power BI is provided by Esri. Your use of ArcGIS for Power BI is subject to Esri's terms and privacy policy. Power BI users who use the ArcGIS for Power BI visualization must accept the terms on the consent dialog. This dialog appears only the first time you use ArcGIS for Power BI.
This tutorial uses the Standard version of ArcGIS for Power BI. However, if you sign in to a valid, licensed ArcGIS account, you have access to more features. For details about account types, visit the ArcGIS for Power BI online help.
The map now shows Last Year Sales for U.S. Cities using Counts and Amounts (size) symbols, as shown in the image. You can zoom in to view this data visualization and pan around the map.
You can embed a map-enabled ArcGIS for Power BI report containing private, secure, or proprietary ArcGIS data in a secure website or app. Viewers of the report must sign in to an ArcGIS account to view it. See Content sharing for general information about embedding ArcGIS content.
This tutorial shows only the features and options available in the Standard version of ArcGIS for Power BI. If you're signed in to a valid, licensed ArcGIS account with the proper licensing, you'll have access to more features.
A basemap provides a background, or visual context, for the data in a map. For example, a basemap showing streets can provide context for your address data. The Standard account provides four base maps: Dark Gray Canvas, Light Gray Canvas, OpenStreetMap, and Streets.
In ArcGIS for Power BI, you work with geographic data through layers. Layers contain logical collections of geographic data that are used to create maps. They're also the basis for geographic analysis.
Different options appear in the menu depending on the type of data in your selected layer. For example, you can change the Symbology and Location type settings for a layer created using Power BI data, like the City layer you created for this tutorial, but those options aren't available for reference or drive-time layers.
ArcGIS for Power BI uses geo enabling technology to accurately position location data on the map and automatically render items as points or boundaries by default, based on the type of data they represent. For example, a latitude, longitude coordinate is rendered as a point on the map, whereas a city is rendered as a boundary (polygon).
Boundaries are typically standard geographic areas, such as countries/regions, provinces, and ZIP codes. When you establish boundaries and a specific country/region for your data locations, you can then choose from a subset of related, standard boundaries, such as census tracts, districts, or municipalities. Various location types are available for each country or region.
ArcGIS for Power BI uses values in the Fields pane to determine how it should render locations on your map with predictive smart mapping. Use the Symbology feature to modify the default styles.
You can choose a different style theme and customize the symbols and colors you use to represent locations on the map. The available themes and style options depend on the values you added to the Fields pane.
Symbol styles allow you to fine-tune how data is presented on the map. The available, default symbol styles are based on the selected location type and theme. The available style options presented to you vary depending on which field wells contain values and the nature of those values.
The Symbology library is dynamic and responds to the nature of your data and selected theme. From Symbology, you can generally change the shape, fill color, and transparency of symbols and outlines and set a color ramp. Classification settings, such as area of influence, method, classes, the ability to exclude specific null values, size range, and other settings may also be visible on this tab, depending on your data and theme.
For more information about selection tools, visit the ArcGIS for Power BI online help. For more information about reference layers, see Add a reference layer. For more information about buffer or drive time areas, see Create buffers and drive time areas.
When you use Power BI data to create an ArcGIS for Power BI map visualization, you're creating a data layer. You can then add reference layers that provide context to your data. For example, if your data layer shows the location of fast-food restaurants, you can add a reference layer showing the proximity of nearby schools, the consumer spending habits of the community, or the age demographic of the surrounding neighborhood.
Reference layers can consist of regional demographic data, such as income, age, and educational attainment. They can also include publicly shared feature layers available from ArcGIS Online that provide various types of information about areas surrounding the locations on your map. Reference layers maximize your data to provide a bigger picture.
After you add a reference layer to a map, you can create a join between the reference layer and Power BI data attributes to gain more insight into your data. To learn more about joining layers, visit the ArcGIS for Power BI help.
Demographic reference layers are interactive. You can select an area to view a tooltip containing more information about that area. You can also select areas on the map that fall within an area on the reference layer.
ArcGIS for Power BI allows you to search for publicly shared feature layers on ArcGIS. This library contains thousands of reference layers that provide information curated to enrich your data. Further, when you sign in to ArcGIS for Power BI using a valid, licensed ArcGIS account, you're granted access to yet more data content which you can share within your organization. This data content includes the authenticated and extensive library of ArcGIS content, such as the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. Share this data content within your organization and your organization's groups.
