To Customize DFS Operations

  1. Create an XML file (for example: lightpole.xml) containing the custom rules as above.
  2. In OpenCities Geospatial Administrator, right-click the User Worksets > Workset > Files section and select Add > File Category.

    The Define File Category dialog opens.

  3. In the Define File Category dialog, enter DFS Rules in the Category section.

    This node is processed when the project is exported. Each file category is copied from the base source folder to the appropriate project folders.

  4. In the base source folder, create a "dfs"sub- folder and place any DFS rule files in that folder.
  5. Right-click the new DFS Rules files entry and select Add > Workset File.

    The Add Workset File dialog opens.

  6. In the Add Workset File dialog, add an entry to copy the custom DFS LightPole.xml file to your workset.
  7. In the Macros node, add an entry for the MS_GEOXFM_DYNAMICFEATURESCORING_FILES configuration variable.
  8. Saved, export and run the XFM project.

    The new rules will be used to modify the behavior of the Dynamic Feature Scoring System.
