In this example, the county shapefile (highlighted in the legend at left) is used for the site analysis operations.  The Houston-Baytown-Sugar Land, TX MSA 10 county area is shown with the bold brown boundary.  County names and county 2008 population (yellow) are shown as county labels.  Tools>Site Analysis is started and the SiteAnalysis Specifications form appears.

 

Select geographic field to query is set to the field NAME.

Select Item/Table to summarize is set to P

(setting a partial field name will result in the aggregation/display of all fields starting with those characters)

No other settings are made on this form; Click OK.

 

The map view appears with a prompt to select geographic objects (in this case the objects are areas -- counties)

The user can select one group or any number, one at a time or as a set as shown in the next form.

When the radius tool is used over a broad area, all geographic objects touches are selected.

This views hows that all 10 Houston MSA county components can be selected.

All "P" field name values are aggregated for the selected counties.

The dynamically computed values are displayed in the upper right grid.

County names are displayed in the lower right panel since the field name NAME was selected.
