idea Workflow Metadata Logging in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/workflow-metadata-logging/idi-p/923221 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>What would be useful to me is a way to turn on logging of my processes I use to get to a solution.&lt;br /&gt; I know that I can save sql statements etc, but what I'd like to be able to save is every step I took to get to a certain point.&lt;br /&gt; Zoom, Select by Attr, which tool use, etc; I also would like to be able to edit this logging process on the fly so that I can save it and repeat it.&lt;br /&gt; The output of this would be several things; a report saying what I did and what was involved (including data generated), a model that could be run and return the same results and a workflow that I could integrate with JTX / Workflow Manager.&lt;br /&gt; This would save time and make the ArcGIS Desktop better.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; For ArcGIS Desktop you would see a list that you could add or remove tasks from:&lt;br /&gt; Zoom to Scale blah&lt;br /&gt; Select Polygons (blah blah blah)&lt;br /&gt; Export Polygons to Geod (blah blah)&lt;br /&gt; Geocode Exported Polygons&lt;br /&gt; Select by Attribute&lt;br /&gt; Select by location, etc etc&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This list would be dynamic and I would be able to add / remove geoprocesses to it as you refine what you are trying to do.&lt;br /&gt; Yes, it is similar to model builder but it serves a more dynamic approach to working / problem solving.&lt;br /&gt; I for one don't always like to sit there and think about a model and then build it.&lt;br /&gt; Sometimes, I rather just try a ton of ideas to figure out my question.&lt;br /&gt; This would enable people to figure it out by doing and then have a model / script / workflow as one of the outputs of their labor.&lt;br /&gt; I believe this type of intuitive thinking will create a smarter user and smarter software.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:12:13 GMT CarlosIsaac_Cabrera 2010-06-08T17:12:13Z Workflow Metadata Logging https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/workflow-metadata-logging/idi-p/923221 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>What would be useful to me is a way to turn on logging of my processes I use to get to a solution.&lt;br /&gt;
