Timings:

13.30 – 17.00

Description:

This session will look specifically at best practise for creating geoprocessing models in the ArcGIS Desktop and publishing these through ArcGIS Server for use in web mapping applications, ArcGIS Explorer or even back into the Desktop environment. It will cover accessing tools from the toolbox, linking these together to form models, the various parameters that need to be considered when building models for hosting in the server environment and how they are exposed to the user of a variety of client applications. Attendees of this workshop will leave with practical knowledge that can be utilised within the organisations they work in.
