< p > AWIPS uses a hierarchical system known as < em > Localization< / em > to configure many aspects of EDEX and CAVE, such as available menu items, color maps, and derived parameters. This system allows a user to override existing configurations and customize CAVE. For example, a < em > < strong > User< / strong > -level< / em > localization file will supercede any similar file in a higher level (such as < strong > Site< / strong > ).< / p >

< p > Navigate to < strong > D2D > Menus< / strong > and select a submenu (e.g. < strong > satellite< / strong > ). This directory lists all of the menu file contributions made by this data plugin. Most data menu directories will have an < code > index.xml< / code > file from which you can investigate the menu structure and make needed changes.< / p >
< p > Selecting a file such as < code > index.xml< / code > (by double clicking, or expanding) will show a sub-menu with a default localization level (typically < strong > BASE< / strong > or < strong > CONFIGURED< / strong > ). Double-click this file to open in the file editor (you may need to click < strong > Source< / strong > at the bottom of the view to see the raw XML). Right-click this file and select < strong > Copy To< / strong > > < strong > User (< em > username< / em > )< / strong > and you will see the file localization versions update with the new copy. Select this file to edit, and override, the existing version.< / p >

<!-- -
## Add new Predefined Area to NCP
In the Localization Perspective, navigate to ‘ ’ ‘ ’ ‘ ’ ‘ ’
You will see a new ‘ ’
Double-click the new file and copy or create a new AreaMenuItem entry, such as a new CONUS Mercator projection called **CONUS_Mercator**:
< AreaMenuItem subMenuName = "" menuName = "CONUS (Mercator)" >
< source > PREDEFINED_AREA< / source >
< areaName > CONUS_Mercator< / areaName >
< / AreaMenuItem >
Now you can either copy and paste an existing xml area file, or simple create one in the NCP. Switch back to the NCP, and select ‘ ’ ‘ ’
You can switch back to the Localization Perspective to confirm that the file was saved. It will be viewable under **NCEP - Predefined Areas** and, in this example, be called **CONUS_Mercator.xml**.
CAVE needs to be restarted in order for the new menu item to show up under the NCP **Area** menu.
Switch to the new Area to confirm.
On your workstation you can find the new USER localization files in ~/caveData
find ~/caveData -name CONUS_Mercator.xml
./etc/user/mjames/ncep/PredefinedAreas/CONUS_Mercator.xml
./.localization/NCEP/Predefined Areas/CONUS_Mercator.xml
