This document described how you can restrict the spatial extent of your InfoEx report by specifying what locations to include.

Background

The application offers four possibilities for restricting the locations included in an InfoEx report:

  1. Selecting the operations to be included
  2. Specifying the mountain ranges to be included
  3. Specifying the CAC forecast regions
  4. Drawing a custom polygon
NOTE Please note that the four ways of specifying the locations are mutually exclusive and cannot be combined. In other words you cannot create a report that includes a number of operations and a mountain range. You can only create reports that either contain the observations of a number of operations or within an mountain range.
