Greetings Everyone!
The Q2 2022 Business and Location Insights data packages are now available to plug into your analytic processes. The packages include analytics-ready data from a variety of vendors as well as data-specific analysis tools which will empower users to get the most from the packaged data. Here is what you can look forward to in this release:
Refreshed Data
This contains quarterly updates for D&B Business Data, Experian Consumer View, and TomTom datasets and annual updates for Experian CAPE and Mosaic.
Updated Data
-
The Allocate Consumer Expenditure Detail Comparison reports for five-year projections have been corrected to represent the expected year (2027).
-
The “TomTom Streets with Satellite” basemap will no longer install by default, but is still present with each data package.
-
Create a backup of the INI file for the TomTom basemaps in a separate folder.
-
Edit the INI file by removing each of the semicolons preceding the DataSet with DbSetFileName=TomTom_Streets_Sat, this is typically [DataSet2].
-
Save the INI file and run the installer to access this layer along with the other TomTom basemaps.
-
Review this article for more familiarity with editing INI files to install commented out options: An Easier Way to Get Point Zip Codes to Show Up in Alteryx (Allocate Geographies)
-
Note: The Map Input tool will display Mapbox and Maxar attributions on each tile when this basemap is selected.
