Naming and describing a model

Geoprocessing

Models can be renamed in the Model Properties dialog box within the ModelBuilder window, as you saw earlier, or from the Properties option on the model’s context menu.

In the ArcToolbox window, right-click Model inside your My_Analysis_Tools toolbox and click Properties. Click the General tab and type “impacted_habitat” for the name and “Find Impacted Habitat” for the label.

For the description of the model, type, “This model finds potential gnatcatcher habitat patches that might be impacted by proposed roads.”

Check Store relative path names to save all paths for sources of information referenced by the tool relative to the location of the toolbox. If the toolbox and its data are moved, the model will still work without having to repair the paths to derived data.
