...
To
...
create
...
the
...
Filters,
...
GridDisplay
...
and
...
DisplayGroups
...
configuration
...
files
...
it
...
is
...
best
...
to
...
merge
...
the
...
two
...
display
...
spreadsheets
...
used
...
to
...
create
...
these
...
files
...
for
...
the
...
separate
...
models
...
(
...
...
...
...
).
...
The
...
advantage
...
is
...
that
...
future
...
changes
...
in
...
the
...
Displays
...
can
...
still
...
be
...
generated
...
automatically
...
in
...
one
...
go
...
for
...
the
...
whole
...
region
...
without
...
merging
...
the
...
two
...
separate
...
configuration
...
files
...
together
...
again
...
and
...
again.
...
That
...
means
...
, you
...
have
...
two
...
display
...
spreadsheets
...
to start
...
from,
...
one
...
for
...
Model1
...
and
...
one
...
for
...
Model2
...
.
...
The
...
naming
...
convention
...
of
...
the
...
spreadsheets
...
used
...
in
...
...
...
to
...
create
...
the
...
displays
...
is
...
free
...
at
...
the
...
moment,
...
that
...
is
...
why
...
we
...
can't
...
refer
...
to
...
a
...
specific
...
name
...
here. Ideally, the spreadsheets should have names which are self explaining (e.g.
...
Model1_
...
Displays.xls
...
and
...
Model2
...
_Displays.xls).
...
To
...
start
...
, make
...
a
...
copy
...
of
...
one
...
of
...
the
...
spreadsheets
...
(e.g.
...
Model1_
...
Displays.xls)
...
and
...
rename
...
it
...
to
...
Region
...
_Displays.xls
...
(where
...
Region
...
is
...
to
...
be
...
replaced
...
by
...
the
...
region
...
name,
...
e.g
...
Southern).
...
This
...
will
...
be
...
your
...
final
...
merged
...
spreadsheet
...
with
...
wich
...
you
...
can
...
create
...
the
...
merged
...
configuration
...
files
...
in
...
the
...
end.
...
Each
...
display
...
spreadsheet
...
contains
...
four
...
sheets.
...
The
...
merge
...
action
...
has
...
to
...
be
...
carried
...
out
...
for
...
all
...
of
...
these
...
sheets.

- Filters
- GridDisplay
- DisplayGroups_plotdef

- DisplayGroups_folders

Step 1: Merge Filters
Step 2: Merge GridDisplay
Step 3: Merge DisplayGroups
If all sheets have been merged save the final merged spreadsheet (Region_Displays.xls). To create the merged configuration files Filters.xml, DisplayGroups.xml and GridDisplay.xml you have to re-run the macros of the spreadsheet generator. This should be familiar from the previous step. Please see step 9 on how to run the spreadsheet and create the configuration files.
Step 4: add general section to GridDisplay.xml
You're done.
Please check the created files carefully:
- do they contain all the expected information?
- are they valid?
