Steps 1 to 3 example
The following recording (Figure 1) shows an example of how to do steps 1, 2 and 3. This is based on the pilot study area.

Processing
-
Once the user has provided all desired parameters, click Run Scenario.
-
The processing dialog will open (Figure 2).
-
The processing will take a while, depending on the number of activities and pathways provided for each activity.
-
Click the Cancel button to stop the processing.

-
Figure 3 will be the result of the processing if successful.
-
The user should take note that the View Report button is now available.

Processing results
The following groups and layers will be added to the QGIS canvas once the processing finishes (see Figure 4):
-
A group containing the Scenario results.
-
Activity Maps: Non-weighted activities created by the user in Step 2.
-
Weighted Activity Maps: Weighted activities based on the activities added in Step 2 and weighing set in Step 3.
-
NCS Pathways Maps: Pathways used for each activity in Step 2. If an activity layer were provided as the activity in Step 2, this would contain no pathways.

Report generating
-
Click the View Report button.
-
The user will have the following options:
- Layout designer: Opens the report in the QGIS layout designer.
- Open PDF: Opens the report in PDF format.
- Help: Open the help documentation related to the reports.
