Saving the PIN file from the PIN Builder


Prev		Next

We now have the elements required to create our PIN file and load our model with transportation and harvest patch accounts. Our PIN file is by no means finished however! There are many other elements and more advanced features that can be added to the PIN file and used to load additional features in your model. All of these elements are explored in other sections of the User Guide. Some of the additional features include:

Report definitions: Creating Reports.
Map layers: Adjusting Map Symbology.
More advanced accounting (meta-accounts, ratio accounts, etc.): Accounts.

Let's take a look at our PIN file and get a better understanding of how some of the elements we added are translated into Beanshell code.
