Arcade is a versatile expression language tailored for enhancing ArcGIS maps and applications, enabling dynamic and interactive analysis within the Map Viewer. This empowers users with meaningful data driven insights quickly and effectively. Unlike conventional desktop analysis workflows, Arcade expressions provide exceptional flexibility and efficiency in situations where project limits are frequently changing, thereby enabling more responsive and insightful analysis. This presentation explores the use of arcade expressions within a web map and dashboard for conducting desktop environmental reviews to identify extents of environmental impacts along utility project routes. By configuring a custom popup with expressions that reference MassGIS hosted datasets, the project team can efficiently review summary statistics, resource area intersections, and utility routing options to make informed decisions about permitting and construction needs. This presentation details the methodology, challenges, and outcomes of integrating Arcade expressions in utility routing analysis, highlighting their role in optimizing the process for constantly evolving project areas.
