Any new model you create has a default name (Model). You can change the name of the model in the Model Properties dialog box.
To do so, click Model and click Model Properties.
Click the General tab. Specify a new name for your model, “Habitat_Analysis”, and a label, “Find Potential Habitat”. You would use the name if you were running the model at the command line or inside a script. The label is the display name for the model.
Add a description for the model, describing the model’s contents. This description will appear in the Help panel of the model’s dialog box.
Check Store relative path names so that all paths for sources of information referenced by the tool are saved relative to the location of the toolbox. If the toolbox and its data are moved, paths to data sources will be altered accordingly. Click OK. Click the Model menu, click Close, and click Yes to save your changes.
Right-click your Find Potential Habitat model in the ArcToolbox window and click Open.
Notice that there are no parameters available in the model’s dialog box. This is because you have not set any variables as model parameters. Click Cancel.
