Hydraulics - Create Configuration is a simple tool that generates a table to store the parameters associated with a polygon-based splice. When the tool is started, the user is prompted to enter a name for the table (Figure 40).
Figure 40. Polygons - Create Configuration is used to generate a table for splicing parameters.
Clicking Run generates the corresponding table in the project geodatabase (Figure 41).
Figure 41. Applying Polygons - Create Configuration generates a table for splicing parameters.
After the table is generated, it can be populated by the user with the splicing parameters (Figure 42). Users specify Priority, the polygon areas associated with the mosaic (layer, Attribute, and Value), and the layers to be spliced (SpliceLayers). OBJECTID is filled by the software automatically. Polygon areas can be defined using feature classes from the project geodatabase or from shape files in the project map contents.

When done, save edits via the Table - Save feature in Pro. This table “edit and save” functionality is entirely in Pro and does not require the use of any GeoEFM tools. The saved table will be available for use in the Polygons - Make Mosaic tool.
