Title: Discussion - Automating Our World
Course: MASTER-GIST-1130-Patton > Section: Module 7 – Automating processes

ModelBuilder is an application you use to create, edit, and manage models. Models are workflows that string together sequences of geoprocessing tools, feeding the output of one tool into another tool as input. ModelBuilder can also be thought of as a visual programming language for building workflows.

At the end of 7-1 in the textbook examples are given of real-world situations in which ModelBuilder can be used to automate processes.

Research ways in which ModelBuilder can be used and provide an example.
