The ''GSSHA Model Linkage'' dialog, accessible from the ''GSSHA Job Control'' dialog, allows linking to current GSSHA model to other GSSHA models.  If there is a parent (regional) model in the WMS interface and the user wants to link this parent model to a child (inset) model, select the options shown below:
The ''GSSHA Model Linkage'' dialog is accessible by clicking the '''Model Linkage...''' button at the bottom of the [[WMS:GSSHA Job Control|''GSSHA Job Control'' dialog]]. It allows linking the current GSSHA model to other GSSHA models: a child project, a parent project, or both.


Note that if these options are selected, WMS writes the appropriate cards to both the parent model and the child model, using the child model’s mask file as the output mask, so the boundary data is output from the parent model and is read into the child model.
The following options are available:
*''Link to another model'' – Turn this on to enable linking to child and/or parent projects.
**''Model linkage'' section
***''Link this model to the following child project'' – Turn on to enable linking to a child project.
****[[File:Open Macro.svg|16px]] – Click to open an ''Open'' dialog to allow browsing to select the desired child project. The path to the selected file is displayed to the right of the button. The child project must be defined or an error will occur when trying to save the project.
****''Output computed watershed mask data from parent model'' – Select to output the computed watershed mask data from the parent model.
*****''Read computed watershed mask data into child model'' – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with computed watershed mask data from the current project.
****''Output XY point-specific data from parent model'' – Select to output the XY point-specific data from the parent model. An error will occur when saving if there are no defined model linkage output points in the GSSHA coverage. To use this option, check the box in the ''Model linkage output'' column in the [[WMS:GSSHA Feature Nodes|GSSHA feature nodes/points ''Properties'' dialog]] for each desired node/point.
*****''Read XY point-specific data into child model'' – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with XY point-specific data from the current project.
***''Link this model to the following parent project'' – Turn on to enable linking to a parent project.
****[[File:Open Macro.svg|16px]] – Click to open an ''Open'' dialog to allow browsing to select the desired parent project. The path to the selected file is displayed to the right of the button. The parent project must be defined or an error will occur when trying to save the project.
****''Output computed watershed mask data from parent model'' – Select to output the computed watershed mask data from the parent model.
*****''Read computed watershed mask data into child model'' – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with computed watershed mask data from the current project.
****''Output XY point-specific data from parent model'' – Select to output the XY point-specific data from the parent model. An error will occur when saving if there are no defined model linkage output points in the GSSHA coverage. To use this option, check the box in the ''Model linkage output'' column in the [[WMS:GSSHA Feature Nodes|GSSHA feature nodes/points ''Properties'' dialog]] for each desired node/point.
*****''Read XY point-specific data into child model'' – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with XY point-specific data from the current project.


If wanting to output data from the parent model at specific XY points, the user would define the point locations in the GSSHA coverage in the map module and mark these locations as ''Model linkage output'' points in the ''GSSHA point properties'' dialog, as shown below:
The following buttons are found at the bottom of the dialog:

*'''OK''' – Saves all changes and closes the ''GSSHA Model Linkage'' dialog.
 
*'''Cancel''' – Discards all changes and closes the ''GSSHA Model Linkage'' dialog.
Then, select the option in the ''GSSHA Model Linkage'' dialog to ''output XY point-specific data from the parent model'', as shown below:
 
:[[Image:GsshaInsetModelLinkToChildXY.png|thumb|none|left|500 px|''GSSHA Inset model'' dialog showing the option to link a child model to XY point-specific data]]
 
In either case (whether using the mask option or the XY point option), it's necessary to define the name of the child project or the user will get an error when saving the project.  If using the ''XY point'' option, the user will get an error when saving if in the GSSHA coverage there are no defined model linkage output points.
 
If there is a child model read into WMS and the user wants to define how it’s linked to a parent model, toggle the option to link the model to a parent project and define the appropriate options.  Once again, it's necessary define a filename for the parent model.
 
A single model can also be used as both a parent and a child model but turning on both the ''link to child'' and the ''link to parent'' toggles in this dialog.

GSSHA Model Linkage dialog

The GSSHA Model Linkage dialog is accessible by clicking the Model Linkage... button at the bottom of the GSSHA Job Control dialog. It allows linking the current GSSHA model to other GSSHA models: a child project, a parent project, or both.

The following options are available:

  • Link to another model – Turn this on to enable linking to child and/or parent projects.
    • Model linkage section
      • Link this model to the following child project – Turn on to enable linking to a child project.
        • Open Macro.svg – Click to open an Open dialog to allow browsing to select the desired child project. The path to the selected file is displayed to the right of the button. The child project must be defined or an error will occur when trying to save the project.
        • Output computed watershed mask data from parent model – Select to output the computed watershed mask data from the parent model.
          • Read computed watershed mask data into child model – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with computed watershed mask data from the current project.
        • Output XY point-specific data from parent model – Select to output the XY point-specific data from the parent model. An error will occur when saving if there are no defined model linkage output points in the GSSHA coverage. To use this option, check the box in the Model linkage output column in the GSSHA feature nodes/points Properties dialog for each desired node/point.
          • Read XY point-specific data into child model – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with XY point-specific data from the current project.
      • Link this model to the following parent project – Turn on to enable linking to a parent project.
        • Open Macro.svg – Click to open an Open dialog to allow browsing to select the desired parent project. The path to the selected file is displayed to the right of the button. The parent project must be defined or an error will occur when trying to save the project.
        • Output computed watershed mask data from parent model – Select to output the computed watershed mask data from the parent model.
          • Read computed watershed mask data into child model – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with computed watershed mask data from the current project.
        • Output XY point-specific data from parent model – Select to output the XY point-specific data from the parent model. An error will occur when saving if there are no defined model linkage output points in the GSSHA coverage. To use this option, check the box in the Model linkage output column in the GSSHA feature nodes/points Properties dialog for each desired node/point.
          • Read XY point-specific data into child model – Turn on to have WMS update the child model with XY point-specific data from the current project.

The following buttons are found at the bottom of the dialog:

  • Help – Opens this article in a web browser.
  • OK – Saves all changes and closes the GSSHA Model Linkage dialog.
  • Cancel – Discards all changes and closes the GSSHA Model Linkage dialog.
