Overview

Apart from the batch tab in the manual forecast it is also possible to run batches of forecasts that have been predefined in an xml file. To be able to use these the display must be configured to add a button to load these files. Configuration consists of the following steps:

Add the display to the DisplayDescriptors file if this has not already been done (see entry below)
Make an XML config file for the display in the DisplayConfigFIles directory named ManualForecastDisplay 1.00 default.xml. Set the buttonVisible element to true(see example below).
Ad an entry for this file to the DisplayInstanceDescriptors file
After restarting the system the Macro button should be visible (see screendump)
