Uso

• The spatial reference of the output feature class will be the same as the store layer.

• The store layer input feature class must be point features.

• In most cases, the store layer input feature layer will be a Business Analyst store layer.

• Selecting all sites to use will create rings for each point feature in the ring centers (stores) input feature class.

• In ArcMap, trade areas will only be created for features that are within the active study area or analysis extent.

• There must be at least two store points in the input store layer for this tool to work.
