Iterate Datasets (ModelBuilder)
Summary
Iterates over datasets in a Workspace or Feature Dataset.
Usage
-
This tool is intended for use in ModelBuilder and not in Python scripting.
-
Iterates over datasets of the following type: CAD, Coverage, Feature Dataset, Geometric Network, Network, Raster, Raster Catalog, Terrain, TIN, and Topology.
-
The tool has two outputs: Output Dataset and Name which could be used as in-line variable (e.g. %Name%) in other tools.
-
If an Iterator is added to a model, all tools in the model iterate for each value in the iterator. If you do not want to run each tool in the model for each iterated value, create a sub-model/model within a model/nested model that contains only the iterator and add it as a model tool into the main model.
Syntax
| Parameter | Explanation | Data Type |
in_workspace |
Workspace folder or a Feature Dataset which stores the dataset to iterate. | Workspace; Feature Dataset |
wildcard (Optional) |
Combination of * and characters that help to limit the results. The asterisk is the same as saying ALL. If no wildcard is specified, all inputs will be returned. For example, it can be used to restrict Iteration over input names starting with a certain character or word (e.g., A* or Ari* or Land*,and so on). | String |
dataset_type (Optional) |
The Dataset Type, such as CAD, Cover, Feature, GeometricNetwork, Network, Raster, RasterCatalog, Terrain, TIN, and Topology. | String |
recursive (Optional) |
Determines if subfolders in the input workspace will be iterated through recursively.
| Boolean |
