Adding a new data model

If your data model is not in the product library, you need to add it. When you create a new data model, you need to provide the following information:

• Name—The name of the data model you are adding
• Alias—An abbreviated name for the data model
• Description—A short description of the data model (If you have used an acronym for the name or alias, you can spell out the meaning of the acronym for the description.)

步骤:

1. Start ArcMap.
   提示:

   If the ArcMap - Getting Started dialog box appears, you can open a new or existing map document. You can also check the Do not show this dialog box in the future check box and click Open.

2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. Right-click the Product Library icon on the window and click Properties.

   The Product Library Properties dialog box appears.

   This is also the name that appears next to the data model version.

9. If necessary, type an alias for the data model in the Alias text box.
10. If necessary, type a description of the data model in the Description text box.
    提示:

    This can be a brief description of the data model or the meaning of an acronym that has been used as the name or alias.

11. Click OK.

    The New Data Model Version dialog box appears.

12. Click OK.

    The Data Models dialog box appears with all the feature datasets and tables included in the model.
