Within FEWS, and thus NGMS, locations are essential as they are the placeholder to all model inputs and output.
The locations concept and the application within NGMS is described in a seperate page.
One of the most time consuming and error prone parts of the system is setting up those locations and ensuring that the Ids of observation data and model data, as defined in the WEL and STR files, match the licences and or gauging stations. To assist in this process, a standard data template has been produced for specyfying the locations, as well as an locations-generator spreadsheet which automates the process of sorting, IdMapping and XML-file generation.

|---|
| Locations on the Explorer-map have tooltips showing details on licences, coordinates etc. Within a tooltip, a line-feed is established by useing '\n' (backward slash n).
The sorting macro combines tooltips of children by combining strings which end with Row: , Column: , Layer: \. |

|---|
| OSreferences will provide the unique key to identify locations. The sorting macro will add layer details where needed, but the configurator has to ensure that two different boreholes/gauges etc. have two differents OSreferences.
