The various choices are Normal, History, Saved, Published, Modified,

within each grid block of the grid manager will indicate various

states. For Normal, the colors indicate whether a grid is

displayed and active within the Spatial Editor. For History, the
|
|
color coding indicates the model data source and whether it has been

modified. Saved, Published, Modified, and Sent use color

coding based on the last time the grid was saved, published, modified,

(Intersite

Coordination Viewing/Editing) mode. When the GFE is in this mode,

the displayed data in the spatial editor is a composite of the Forecast
|
|
grid and the received intersite coordination grids. The data over
|
|
your CWA region is from the Forecast database and the remainder of the
|
|
displayed grid is the intersite coordination grids. Toggling ISC

mode affects more than the display. Sample display, color table
|
|
fit
|
|
to data operations, move/copy, smooth, and pencil operations are all
|
|
affected.

|
When in ISC mode, these tools work on the composite Fcst and ISC

grids.
