Their users can then attach their own data to the model and run it using a consistent or prescribed modeling strategy. One of the nice features of this technology, particularly for the new user, is that the wizards are supported by an extensive online help system. A user who does not understand a particular aspect of the process can link to the help system for a complete explanation of that process. The help system is actually more like an online tutorial on spatial modeling than a traditional help file. Another helpful feature automatically documents the entire decision process.
Users can even include metadata describing their assumptions.
They can also list Web sites linking to additional reference materials. It contains a wizard for reclassifying both continuous and discrete data. It also provides the user with wizards for calculating buffers and for performing both weighted and additive overlays. Let's assume you want to build an erosion hazard model. You then select the Slope Wizard from the Processes menu.
