DSS v1.0 structure

DSS strucure

The DSS is developed in Visual Basic and consits of an Excell workbook articulated in three worksheet:

1. Worksheet Guidelines: this worksheet provides basic intructions

2. Worksheet SO_to_MS: this worksheet provides a list of MSs that addressed a list of SOs choosen by the user

3. Worksheet MS_to_SO: this worksheet provides a list of SOs that can be addressed by a list of MSs choosen by the user

NOTE: The DSS should be opened in only-read mode to avoid errors when saving
