To create the Filters, GridDisplay and DisplayGroups configuration files it is best to merge the two 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 files together again and again.
In case of merging the two spreadsheets with the filters it is necessary to do the following:
- the 'parent' Region filter (e.g. Anglian) should contain 'child' filters for both models (e.g. YNN_model and EO_model)
- all the model specific filters should be placed below this filter
- the list of timeseries (tms elements in spreadsheet) should contain all timeseries to be placed in the filters for both models. The order of the series does not make a difference.
In case of merging the two spreadsheets with for the GridDisplay it is necessary to do the following:
- all elements of the original model sheets should be copied in the overall sheet. The order of the elements within the section for each model should stay as they are.
Merging the DisplayGroups configuration files requires some more changes in the spreadsheets. The necessary changes are explained below:
- the DisplayGroups_plotdef sheet should contain all the scenarios and parameters used in either of the models
- the original sheets with DisplayGroups folders can be put in one sheet below each other. The order of the elements in the list should not be changed. The column SHEET refers to a different sheet with the locations to be displayed. The best procedure is to create a sheet for each model for each type of locations. The reference to these sheets should be put in the column SHEET correctly.
- the sheets with locations (e.g. Displays_obhs_YNN) should be populated with all locations for that specific location type for that model
- modelcheck sheets (1 and 2) should be created for both models as well
