GIS Layers

 

The GIS Layers registration menu is where GIS layer files used in study projects are registered.

 

DM_GIS_01

 

Using the Search & Select a Study box at the top-right of the form, select the appropriate study to register the Local GIS files to (eg. Flood extents, rating locations, model network schematics).

Note: Some GIS files may not be centric to a particular study (eg. LGA Property Boundary data, Catchment boundaries, Critical infrastructure), therefore it is not necessary to associate these global GIS files to a study.

 

To select which reference GIS files are to be copied, browse to the file location using the DM_GIS_02 button to add them to the list.

 

For global GIS files such as property boundaries, the Location field should be set to 'Global'. However, files associated to the selected study should have this field specified as 'Local' using the drop down box.

 

An alias is required for use in local waterRIDE projects if the file is referenced in case the source filename is changed.

 

To delete any unwanted files, simply select the filename and press the [Del] key on your keyboard.

 

Finally, after all files and fields have been updated, press the DM_GIS_03 button to begin the registration and file copying process.
