The GSSHA Map Table Editor dialog allows editing of the mapping tables for all of the spatially distributed parameters for options specified in the GSSHA Job Control dialog. The mapping tables relate parameter sets for each process to an index map that shows their spatial distribution.

There are tabs for each of these parameter sets. Some of the tabs require the option to have been turned on in the GSSHA Job Control dialog. If the tab is selected and the option has not been turned on there, a warning dialog will appear to ask if the option should be turned on.

The following buttons are always found at the bottom of the dialog, regardless of which tab is selected:

  • Import Table... – Brings up the Open dialog where a CMT file (GSSHA Mapping Table File) can be selected and imported.
  • Export Table... – Brings up the Enter the GSSHA Mapping Table file name dialog where the data from the selected tab can be exported as a CMT file.
