Model report provides a flattened view of all the elements in a model and their hidden properties. This view also enables finding and replacing element names and their values.
In the report view, typing a search string will initiate a search immediately. The Find drop-down menu provides options to refine the search results. Use the Find Previous and Find Next buttons to cycle through the search results and replace the occurrences one by one or together.
Examples of using Find and Replace include:
- Replacing repeated occurrences of “Copy Features” with another string in variable names.
- Replacing the absolute local paths to “%scratchGDB%” for the output values.
- Replacing the field name in the where clause of many SQL queries.
