About this course

Manual, click-by-click analysis doesn't scale. In this course you'll learn to capture a workflow once as a visual model and then run it again and again against new data.

You'll start in the visual model builder, then progressively expose the underlying parameters, iterators and Python so your models are robust enough to hand to a colleague.

What you'll learn

  • Design a model from a plain-language workflow
  • Expose parameters for reusable tools
  • Iterate over feature classes and rasters
  • Add branching and error handling
  • Export a model to a Python script
  • Share models as geoprocessing packages

Requirements

  • Comfortable navigating a desktop GIS
  • Basic understanding of vector and raster data
