I've also gone through the Properties dialog for the script and created all of the necessary input parameter boxes and pulldowns, etc.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So now I have a dialog box for users to fill out all of the input parameters when I double click the script. All of my input boxes are in the left pane of the dialog box and in the right pane is a space for a description for each input box. When I click on my first input box for example (Workspace location), in the right pane it says "Workspace location" and then "No description available".</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>How do I enter the description information? I can't seem to find the instructions anywhere. The instructions under "Documenting tools" in the Help don't seem to work for this application. Can anyone help?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you so much - Dave</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 09 Aug 2012 22:01:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/how-to-add-parameter-descriptions-in-the-right/m-p/329791#M1071 DavidNagel 2012-08-09T22:01:22Z Re: How to add parameter descriptions in the right pane of a script tool dialog box https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/how-to-add-parameter-descriptions-in-the-right/m-p/329792#M1072 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>All you need to do is edit the tools metadata in ArcCatalog "Description" tab.
