We just purchased Community Analyst.  While exploring the functionality I added a pin, created walk time areas, scrolled through infographics and used the "Create PDF or Image" button.  This cost me 12 credits and I am a bit confused, especially after referencing the breakdown of credits.  I can see 1.5 for drive times, and maybe a credit or so for Infographics.  So does generating a map cost the same as generating a report - 10 credits.  I realize 12 credits is really nothing to worry about but for future reference it would be good to know if map production costs this many credits.

I don't use them, but if they use arcgis online credits, there is a breakdown, hopefully for all

Hi Jay,

Thank you for using Community Analyst. Yes, creating PDF or image using the "Create PDF or Image" button costs 10 credits for each format. 

Thank you,

Praveen

Praveen, thanks for the answer.  It would be great if Esri made this information easier to find.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for the feedback. We will work on making this information more easy to find.

Just wondering though if you were able to find these two resources: 

  1. Understand credits—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  
  2. ArcGIS Online | Service Credits 

and if you found them helpful? 

Thanks,

Praveen
