# Displays and Procedures
|
|
AWIPS contains two methods for saving and loading data resources: **Displays** are a simple way to save loaded resources into a bundle file to access in future CAVE sessions. **Procedures** are similar to Displays, but can be thought of as *groups of displays* and allows the user to manage saved resources with more control.
|

|
|
|
|
## Displays
|
|
|
|
### **File > Load Display**
|
|
|
|
Load a previously-saved display from within the AWIPS system. The pop-up dialog allows you to select your own saved displays as well as those saved by other users.
|
|
|
|
When loading a display, all existing tabs will be closed and replaced with the contents from the saved display.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most saved displays will consist of a single Map Editor (tab), but with multiple tabs saved each will open again in its own Map Editor.

### **Load Display from Local Disk**
|
|
|
|
To load a previously-saved display from a path within the file directory locally, select **File > Load Display** and then select the **File** button on the right to browse your local directories.
|

|
### **File > Save Display**
|
|
|
|
Save a product display within the AWIPS system. This saves the display both locally and to the EDEX server for your specific user.
