The Output Folder
The output folder will hold one or more File GeoDatabases depending upon which tools you have run. Each GeoDatabase can hold one or more datasets created by RivEX. These are listed below (xxx = river layer name; yyy = user defined; sss = site layer name) with links to their respective tool. Running a tool that creates an output dataset multiple times will typically generate a new version of the dataset with a numeric suffix. Previous versions are not deleted, it is up to you to clean up the Geodatabases by deleting redundant datasets. You can delete last known outputs and maintain the RivEX settings file integrity by using the Delete RivEX outputs tool. Note if you run the Create a RivEX workspace tool with overwrite option ticked on then this is the only tool in the RivEX toolbox that will destroy all previously created output File Geodatabases.
Some tools produce multiple outputs, typically a main results table and an optional spatial dataset.
