Zone Set Manager (Geospatial Analysis)

When you click Manage Zone Sets in the Step 2 - Configure pane for a Zonal Accumulation, the Zone Set Manager opens and displays the Zone Sets pane, which lists the available zone sets. To open a zone set, click the name; the Zone Set Manager opens the Zones pane, which lists the zones in the zone set. Zone sets are XML files.

You can perform various tasks based on whether you are in the Zone Sets pane or the Zones pane.

Remove a zone set or zone record

Highlight the item that you want to remove, click (Remove).

Note:

Deleting a custom zone set deletes the zone set and any custom zones that have been added to it.

Save changes to a zone set or zone record

The Save button becomes available after you make some changes, such as after you change a zone definition. For example, you may want to change the damage % for one or more zones in a zone set.

Add a zone set

Select the Add row (the first row in the grid), enter a name for the new zone set, enter information in the Description column, and then click Enter. Click the name of the newly added zone set and then click Add to add zones to the zone set.

Add a zone

Click the name of the zone set to which you want to add one or more zones. When the Zones pane appears, click Add . The Zone Configurator opens. The maximum number of zones in a zone set is 100,000.

Edit a zone record

Open the item that you want to edit. The Zone Editor opens where you can modify the filter definition, the peril, and the damage percent for the zone.

Note:

You cannot edit AIR-provided zones, such as the RDS zones.

Duplicate a zone set

In the Zone Set Manager, highlight the zone set that you want to duplicate, click (Duplicate), and then edit the name of the copied zone set and, optionally, the description. The copied zone set includes all the records for the source zone set. This is useful if you want to do stress testing by running the same zones with different damage percents.

Copy and paste a zone record

In the Zones pane, highlight the zone record that you want to copy to the Clipboard, click (Copy ), and then click (Paste ). You can then edit the copied zone record.

Export a zone set

In the Zone Set Manager, highlight the zone set that you want to export and then click (Export Zone Set ). In the Save As dialog box, browse to a shared network folder, such as a TEMP folder, or enter the UNC path to the new zone set file, enter a file name for the zone set, and then click Save. For example: \\DVFLXZ19\ZoneSets\NewZone.xml

Import a zone set

Click (Import Zone Set) , navigate to the location of the zone set that you want to import, enter all the zone set information, and then click Import.

Note:

You can export AIR-provided zone sets, but you cannot import them.
