h4. Some final advice
* When adding a new model, always choose to add an "Integrated Model" rather than just a "Flow Model 1D" if there is any chance you will want to combine your Flow model with other models in the future. (Real Time Control, Water Quality, Rainfall Runoff, ...) (Known issue TOOLS-9757)
* When viewing output, users can choose between viewing them using the "Central map" or the "Map". To prevent issues, users should always select "Central Map". (Known issue TOOLS-20811) |
