The location set configuration file is included in the RegionConfigFiles\ folder: LocationSets.xml

Shape file, GeoJSON file and CSV file

It is possible to define locationSets with locations that are automatically generated (so NOT defined in the locations.xml) from an ESRI Shape (dbf) file, geoJSON file or from a CSV table. See all detailed information at the the next page

Database Table

It is also possible to define locationSets with locations that are read directly from a database. The contents of the database table are on the fly read and converted to a DBZ file. This DBZ file will be used by FEWS. This is for backup purpose in case the database is not available any more, like in stand-alone test environments. See all detailed information at the next page

...

This element can be used to generate multiple locationsets from location attributes; these are normally invluded for locations in dbf or CSV files. In the example below a locationSet is created Warrington_Fluvial_Catchments_PDM from locationSet UK_Fluvial_Catchments_PDM where the location attribute Centre contains Warrington. By using the subLocationSetIdFunction, multiple locationSets are generated as well for all river_segments that can be found in the locationattribute @River_Segment@. 

	<locationSet id="Warrington_Fluvial_Catchments_PDM">
		<subLocationSetIdFunction>@River_Segment@_Warrington_Model_PDM</subLocationSetIdFunction>
		<locationSetId>UK_Fluvial_Catchments_PDM</locationSetId>
		<constraints>
			<attributeTextContains id="Centre" contains="Warrington"/>
		</constraints>
	</locationSet>

...

Note that sublocationsets can not be added to other locationsets. So it is adviced to create an overarching locationset (like UK_Fluvial_Catchments_PDM) from which sublocationsets are created by the function.
