Report Module Configuration

The role of the report module is to generate reports of the forecast results in a form that can easily be displayed without using DELFT-FEWS on a web server. Reports that are produced by DELFT-FEWS serve two purposes:

• provision of detailed, specific information to e.g. forecasting duty officers, area officers
• provision of general, overview reports

Reports are used to present the forecast result data in a fixed, user defined, format. The format of a report can be easily customized by a user and stored in a template.

Some functions of the DELFT-FEWS use the report component to present the results. For example the critical condition lookup tables defined in for example coastal forecasting only produce index time series. Without post-processing of these indices, a user can never see what is happening in his coastal system. The report component will therefore also be used to interpret the indices and transform these into information that a user can understand. The ValueAttributeMaps (see Regional Configuration) define how these indices are to be transformed to understandable strings and/or icons.

Reports generated can be exported directly to the file system (for viewing through the web server) or they can be stored in the database. The report export module may then be used to exporting selected reports when required to the web server.

The report template uses tags as placeholders to identify the location of objects in the report. In the following table the available tags are described. This page gives an overview of available tags. It also gives details on how defined declarations are to be used in the reports- allowing layout of tables etc. to be defined.

For many report elements, the MC ID should be set in the global.properties in "REPORTS_LEFTCOLMCID" (REPORTS_LEFTCOLMCID=none for Stand Alone).

When available as configuration on the file system, the name of the XML file for configuring an instance of the correlation module called for example Report_Coastal_Forecast may be:

Report_Coastal_Forecast 1.00 default.xml

<item>Format

Formatting instructions for a specific item in the report.

templateDir

Root directory of the directory containing report templates.

reportRootsDir

Root directory to which the all reports are to be exported. This directory is typically the root directory of the web server

Note: A global.properties tag may be useful to define this directory

reportRootsSubDir

Root directory to which the current reports are to be exported. This directory is relative to the reportsRootsDir

sendToLocalFileSystem

Boolean option to determine if reports are to be written to the file system on creation. If set to false reports will be stored in the Reports table in the database, pending export through the ReportExport module.

temporary

When temporary the reports are only available for the report export module executed in the same run. The reports are not saved to the database but instead to a temp file that is deleted at the end of the run

Configuring content of reports

report

Root element for defining the data to be included in the report.

Figure 91 Elements of the Report configuration

InputVariable

Input timeseriesSets for the report. All timeSeriesSets that are used in the report must be defined here, both for carts and for tables. See Transformation Module for details on defining an inputVariable element.

FileResource

Reference to an external file that must be copied with the report. The file will be copied to the same location as the report, with the correct filename inserted at the place of the tag. This can be used for copying images.

Related TAG: $FILERESOURCE(resourceId)$

In the Report configuration file a <fileResource id="Plot1">Plot1.svg</fileResource> need t be added with an id. The fileresource file "Plot1.svg" is a file that need to be included in the \Config\ReportImageFiles\ folder.

In the report template file a TAG need to be included with the fileResource ID: <img src="$FILERESOURCE(Plot1)$">

Chart

In the Chart element the variableId's to be used for one or more charts are defined. The Chart ID that is defined is referenced in the TAG.

Related TAG: $CHART(chartId)$

Summary

In the Summary element the variableId's are specified that are used to create the summary information. The OverlayFormat of the SummaryFormat determines what is shown on the map.

Related TAG: $SUMMARY(summaryId)$

Table

In the Table element the variableId's are specified that are used to create a table. The TableFormat controls how the table is formatted, i.e. the row and column information and how the data is displayed in the map.

Related TAG: $TABLE(tableId)$

See for more information Tables (Overview) below.

Status

The Status element links a Status ID that is referenced in the STATUS TAG to a Status Format ID.

Related TAG: $STATUS(statusId)$

Template

Template file name to be used for the report.

OutputSubDir

Optional output subdirectory for this report.

If singleLocation is true, then outputSubDir can contain location attribute ids, e.g. "H_ (BASIN)", where tags between "@" signs refer to location attributes that are defined in the locationSets config file. These tags will be replaced with the corresponding attribute values of the location of the report. These values can be different for different locations. See 22 Locations and attributes defined in CSV files, Shape-DBF files or external tables for more information. If required to use a "@" sign in this element without using locationAttributes, then need to add an extra escape character "@" before each "@" sign. In other words "@@" is replaced with a single "@" sign.

OutputFileName

Output file name for this report.

The following tags can be used to customize the file output name:

• %LOCATIONID%
•  %TIMESERIES_POSTFIX(dateFormatId)%
•  %CURRENTTIME(dateFormatId)%
•  %TIMEZERO(reportVariableId;dateFormatId)%
•  %TIMESTEP(dateFormatId)% (only supported for spatialPlotSnapshots snapshot fileNames).

%LOCATIONID %

If singleLocation is true, then can use tag %LOCATIONID% here, which will be replaced with the id of the location of the report. If singleLocation is true, and the %LOCATIONID% tag is not present, then a "_" sign and the id of the location of the report will be inserted automatically just before the "." sign in the filename.

Additionally, if singleLocation is true, then outputFileName can contain location attribute ids, e.g. "H_ (BASIN)", where tags between "@" signs refer to location attributes that are defined in the locationSets config file. These tags will be replaced with the corresponding attribute values of the location of the report. These values can be different for different locations. See 22 Locations and attributes defined in CSV files, Shape-DBF files or external tables for more information. If required to use a "@" sign in this element without using locationAttributes, then need to add an extra escape character "@" before each "@" sign. In other words "@@" is replaced with a single "@" sign.

%TIMESERIES_POSTFIX(dateFormatId)%

The TIMESERIES_POSTFIX tag will be replaced by the minimum date of the configured timeSeries in the report. If no timeSeries have been configured, the system date will be used. An optional dateFormat id can be specified. For example: %TIMESERIES_POSTFIX(dateFormatId)% where dateFormatId is the id of a dateFormat as specified in the reports declarations. If no dateFormatId is passed, the default date format ddmmyyyym will be used. 

%CURRENTTIME(dateFormatId)%

The CURRENTTIME tag will be replaced by the current system time. An optional dateFormat id can be specified (see TIMESERIES_POSTFIX). 

%TIMEZERO(reportVariableId;dateFormatId)%

The TIMEZERO tag will be replaced by the minimum T0 of the timeSeries configured by the reportVariableId. If no parameter is configured, T0 of the task run will be used. The reportVariableId is optional.

An optional dateFormat id can be specified (see TIMESERIES_POSTFIX).

N.B.: Be careful in specifying date formats that are compatible with the filesystem. For example and : in the dateformat will not be compatible with the windows filesystem.

%TIMESTEP(dateFormatId)%

The TIMESTEP tag will be replaced by the timestep of a spatialPlotSnapshots snapshot. An optional dateFormat id can be specified. For example

			<snapshot id="Waterlevel_0">
				<relativeTime unit="hour" value="0"/>
				<fileName>Report.EAM.Waterlevel.FC_%TIMESTEP(df1)%</fileName>
			</snapshot>

DefineLocal

The DefineLocal element can be used to enter some information that is valid for a single report. Multiple DefineLocal elements may be defined, as long as the ID attribute is kept unique.

A special case of the DefineLocal attribute is when the DefineLocalID is the same as a previously DefineGlobalID. In this case the DefineLocal overrides the setting of the DefineGlobal. This is valid only for the report being configured, not for any other configured reports in the same configuration file.

Related TAG: $DEFINITION(definitionId)$

The template function tag $DEFINITION(defineLocalId)$ will be replaced with the value of the defineLocal element with the corresponding id.

If singleLocation is true, then the value of a defineLocal element can contain location attribute ids, e.g. "H_ (BASIN)", where tags between "@" signs refer to location attributes that are defined in the locationSets config file. These tags will be replaced with the corresponding attribute values of the location of the report. These values can be different for different locations. See 22 Locations and attributes defined in CSV files, Shape-DBF files or external tables for more information. If required to use a "@" sign in this element without using locationAttributes, then need to add an extra escape character "@" before each "@" sign. In other words "@@" is replaced with a single "@" sign.

Charts

Charts can be used for visualizing timeseries. The charts which can be added to html-reports look more or less the same as in the TimeSeries Display. The configuration is simular to display groups. Charts are being created as (individual) *.png files.

Figure 92 Example of a chart (*.png file)

Template tag

In the Chart element the variableId's to be used for one or more charts are defined. The Chart ID that is defined is referenced in the TAG.

Related TAG: $CHART(chartId)$

Configuration aspects

Chart should be configured according the following schema definition.

Figure 93 Chart definition according the ChartComplexType (reports.xsd).

It is possible to have two y-axis visible in the same plot. This can be done by having multiple timeseries where some are assigned to the left y axis and some to the right y axis, or by having a timeseries on the left y axis with an assigned rating curve on the right y axis. So every timeseries plot (also in reports) will have a mandatory left y axis to which a timeseries is assigned and an optional right y axis to which a timeseries or rating curve is assigned.

Both left y axis and right y axis can be customized using <leftAxis> and <rightAxis> configuration elements. Note that  <leftAxis> configuration is  used  only if at least one time series is attached to the left axis. The same goes for the  <rightAxis>.

The display of threshold lines are supported for one y axis. But there can be threshold lines for either the left or the right y axis, but not both. Note that further constraints on what thresholds are displayed is possible in the reports schema.

Plot background and foreground  images

The images configured  in <plotBackgroundReportImage> and <plotForegroundReportImage> should be included in the config folder ReportImageFiles.  The images are  resized to fill the whole plot. The foreground image should be transparent. Below an example of the plot with the  background image.

Multiple TimeSeries plots

To assign a timeseries to the left or right y axis use the <axis> element. This element is optional and leaving it out will assign it (default) to the left axis. Please note that at least one timeseries should be on the left axis (by either settings <axis>left</axis> or leaving the element out and using the default).

Below are two examples of a config and the resulting plot.

		<chart id="Example7" formatId="chartFormat2" width="500" height="306">
			<timeSeries preferredColor="green" lineStyle="solid;thick" axis="right" visibleInLegend="true" label="Gemessen">series1</timeSeries>
			<timeSeries preferredColor="red" lineStyle="solid;thick" axis="right" visibleInLegend="true" label="COSMO2">series2</timeSeries>
			<timeSeries preferredColor="orange" lineStyle="solid;thick" axis="left" visibleInLegend="true" label="COSMO7">series3</timeSeries>
			<timeSeries preferredColor="violet" lineStyle="solid;thick" axis="left" visibleInLegend="true" label="ECMWF">series4</timeSeries>
			<fileName>Example7</fileName>
		</chart>

Stage/discharge plots

When a discharge is displayed, it is possible to show the stage on the right axis. It is not possible to configure this rating on the left axis (and the timeseries on the right axis), since a plot has to have at least one timeseries on the left axis.

The right axis is then not a linear axis but the ticks on the right axis are calculated from the discharge ticks on the left axis.

It is also possible to display the stage and show the discharge on the right axis. The example below shows a display which plots several discharge time series.

The left axis is a linear axis with ticks for the discharge. The right axis is a non-linear axis.

The ticks on the right axis are calculated from the value of the discharge on the left axis by using a rating curve.

Stage/discharge plots support both PI rating curves and deprecated rating curves (deprecated rating curves are ratings obtained from xml file according to the schema ratingCurves.xsd)

Below an configuration and resulting plot. The option reverse is applicable only to deprecated rating curves.

		<chart id="Example4" formatId="chartFormat1" width="900" height="300">
			<rightAxis>
				<ratingCurve>
					<ratingCurveId>location1</ratingCurveId>
					<reverse>true</reverse>
				</ratingCurve>
			</rightAxis>
			<timeSeries axis="left" preferredColor="blue" markerStyle="none" lineStyle="solid;thick" label="geen verwachting" visibleInLegend="true">series1</timeSeries>
			<fileName>Example4</fileName>
		</chart>

		<chart id="Example8" formatId="chartFormat1" width="900" height="300">
			<rightAxis>
				<ratingCurve>
					<ratingCurveId>location1</ratingCurveId>
					<reverse>true</reverse>
				</ratingCurve>
			</rightAxis>
			<timeSeries axis="both" preferredColor="blue" markerStyle="none" lineStyle="solid;thick" label="geen verwachting" visibleInLegend="true">series1</timeSeries>
			<timeSeries axis="left" preferredColor="black" markerStyle="circle" lineStyle="solid;thick" label="meetwaarde" markerSize="3">series2</timeSeries>
			<fileName>Example8</fileName>
		</chart>

For adding a chart to a report the following aspects are important to configure:

• Chart attributes;
• Chart timeseries;

Chart attributes

To display the chart the following attributes need to be defined:

• Id: unique identifier for this chart (unique in this report);
• formatId: referring to the format of this chart (in declaration section of the report)
• height: an integer value for the height of the chart in pixels;
• width: an integer value for the width of the chart in pixels;

Chart timeseries

To display lines, dots etc. of a certain timeseries, the reference to this timeseries (variableId) should be mentioned.

Figure 94 chart declaration in the report section

Rotated Markers

Since 2017.02 FEWS supports the possibility to plot arrows markers showing direction on plots, which for example can be used to create a plot of wind speed where the arrow markers signify the wind direction. The report module also supports such markers. Configuration for these markers must be included in the TimeSeriesDisplayConfig.xml, as described in the Time Series Display Configuration Guide under the "Directional arrow markers" section. In addition, for the direction time series to be available in the report module, the direction time series must be included in the chart in addition to the speed time series. The direction time series is NOT added automatically. 

Direct reference to existing display ID

A new feature in FEWS version 2021.01 is the option to create a chart using a direct reference to an existing Display ID in the DiplayGroups configuration. You can configure this using the <DisplayChart/> element like this:

<displayChart id="testDisplayChart" width="400" height="400">
    <displayId>testDisplay</displayId>
 </displayChart>

Using a classic <chart/> tag you have to reconfigure each chart separately for both the TimeSeriesDisplay on screen and the Report Export. The Benefit of this may be that you can optimize the way the charts look in a printed or web based report, which may have a different resolution, fonts and other features relative to the computer screen. However, if you just want the charts in the report to look the same as they do on the screen, using the existing Display ID in a <displayChart /> element can save you a lot of work. Optionally you can specifiy a fileName and fileFormat, the default output will be named chart00.png, chart001.png etc.

Spatial plot snapshots

Gridded time series can be visualized in a report by means of snapshots. The snap shot is an image depicting the time series spatially.

Configuration aspects

Spatial plot snapshots are configured according to the following schema definition (sharedTypes.xsd). Since FEWS 2023.01 multiple class breaks are allowed. When multiple class breaks are configured in the best suitable class breaks are automatically chosen

snapshot

The snapshot is defined as a relative time interval from T0. Optionally a file name may be specified for the snapshot which is used to save the snapshot on the file system. If omitted the file name is generated by the report module. If required the date-time label can be adjusted (font type and font size)

<spatialPlotSnapshots id="spatialPlotSnapshot">
.......
......
  <snapshot id="Snapshot">
      <relativeTime value="0" unit="hour"/>
      <fileName>SnapshotFile</fileName>
      <dateTimeLabel visible="true">
             <font name="SansSerif" size="12" style="bold"/>
      </dateTimeLabel>
  </snapshot>
     
</spatialPlotSnapshots>

Summary

A summary is a (background) map which can be added to a report. On top of this map, icons can be displayed. The icons indicate the location or the (warning) status of the monitoring or forecasting point. By adding specific html-functionality to the report template(s), maps can be used to navigate through the reports as well. Clickable areas and locations can be distinguished here. The map itself (as a file) can be any image file. For displaying maps in html-reports the following formats are advised: *.png, *.jpg or *.gif.

Template tag

In the Summary element the variableId's are specified that are used to create the summary information. The OverlayFormat of the SummaryFormat determines what is shown on the map.

Related TAG: $SUMMARY(summaryId)$

Creating a summary

The map itself is an existing file and can be created in several ways. An image processing software package (like Paint Shop Pro) can create a 'screendump' from the map section of The FEWS-Explorer. The FEWS-Explorer itself has some hidden features which can be used as well. The [F12] button can be used for:

• Copy current map to a .png file ([F12]+ L);
• Copy current map extent to the clipboard ([F12]+ K);

The *.png file is named "currentmap.png" and can be found in the /bin directory of your system. The map extent (rectangle containing real world coordinates) can be pasted into any application by choosing Edit-Paste or [Ctrl]+ V. These four coordinates describing the extent of your map picture in world coordinates are needed in the declarations section of the report ModuleConfigFile where you declare this summary.

Remark: Every time you use the above mentioned [F12] features, the png file in the /bin directory and the clipboard is overwritten! In making series of maps you should copy/rename your png file after using this option. You should also paste the map extent in a text editor or spreadsheet directly before repeating the operations with another map extent in the FEWS-Explorer.

Configuring a summary

Declaration section

In the declarations section of the report ModuleConfigFile, the summaryFormat needs to be declared. The following elements should be specified (see figure).

• Id: unique identifier (as reference to this summary)
• Map
  o Image
• file: relative reference/path to the image file;
• width: width of the image file in pixels;
• height: height of the image file in pixels;
  o x0: horizontal margin/shift of the map on the html page;
  o y0: vertical margin shift of the map on the html page;
  o leftLongitude: left side of the map in real world coordinates;
  o rightLongitude: right side of the map in real world coordinates;
  o bottomLatitude: bottom side of the map in real world coordinates;
  o topLatitude: top side of the map in real world coordinates;
  o mapFormat: details for positioning and behaviour of the map;
  o overlayFormat: details for positioning and behaviour of icons on the map;

Figure 95 Summaryformat in the declarations section

Detailed explanation

• File details like width and height can be retrieved using image processing software.
• The x0 and y0 elements are margins/shifts of the position of the map compared to the left-upper point of the report (e.g. an A4-sheet). This left-upper point is (0,0). The x0/y0 refer to the left-upper point of the image.
• The mapFormat is used for positioning the map on the page (relative to all other content) and therefor it is placed in a so-called [DIV] tag. This type of html tag puts everything which is configured within that tag in that position on the page. The following table explains the references of the number in this format:

• The overlayFormat is used for positioning location and/or warning icons on the map based on:
• The map itself (defined in mapFormat);
• X and Y coordinates of the required locations from the Locations.xml;

• Note that in case of numbers bigger than 999, it can be that the output may contain unwanted commas, e.g. width 1274 is printed in the reports as 1,274. In order to avoid this, it is recommended to use

  {<position>, number, #}

  instead of

  {<position>, number}

  .

• Note that when providing a single quote within a snippet of javascript of OverlayFormat in a format field of the report XML configuration and the report appears to be missing this single quote character, this can be fixed by adding the additional escape character in the form of an additional single quote. A more verbose alternative is to put &#39;&#39; or &apos;&apos;.

The mapFormat and overlayFormat elements are configured in html language in which some parts needs to be dynamically filled in. The result will be valid html. The map itself is placed as the bottom 'layer' using the <DIV> tag attributes (index="0") in the mapFormat. Objects defined in the overlayFormat are given higher indices to place them 'on top of the map' and will always be visible (location icons, warning icons).

Use of optional settings in mapFormat and overlayFormat

In both formats, an optional item can be specified.

Clickable map

A clickable map is an image on a html page containing 'hot spots' where the cursor change from the normal 'arrow' to a 'pointing finger' during a mouse-over event. These hot spots can contain hyperlinks to other pages.

<div style="TOP:{1, number, #}px;
LEFT:{0, number, #}px;
position:absolute;Z-index:0">
<img border="0" src="{4}"
width="{2,number,#}" height="{3, number, #}"
usemap="{5}">
</div>

When adding the string "usemap="{5}" to the mapFormat (see above) the outcome in the html page will be (printed in bold).

The part describing the hot spots for this map are defined in the [map] tag. In this example below, three areas are 'clickable'. Every hot spots links to another html page in the set of reports.

<img border="0" src="northeast.png" width="503" height="595" *usemap="#clickmap"*>

<!-- Here the clickable map starts: SHOULD BE IN THE TEMPLATE -->
<map name="clickmap">
<area alt="Northumbria Area" href="northumbria/area_status.html" shape="polygon" coords="138, ...,...,34">
<area alt="Dales Area" href="dales/area_status.html" shape="polygon" coords="266, ..., ..., 285">
<area alt="Ridings Area" href="ridings/area_status.html" shape="polygon" coords="359, ..., ..., 379">
</map>

To avoid hot spots on a map, do not include the "usemap="{5}" in the mapFormat.

Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks can be added to the overlayFormat. By using the following option, hyperlinks to individual reports will be added automatically. They will have a fixed (non-configurable) name, "forecastlocation.html" and assuming it is located in a directory with the same name as the locationId compared to where this report with the map is located in the directory structure.

<div style="TOP:{1,number,#}px;
LEFT:{0,number,#}px;
position:absolute;Z-index:1">
<a href="{5}">
<img border="0" src="{2}" title="{4}: {3}">
</a>
</div>\n

When adding href="{5}" to the overlayFormat (at that location) a hyperlink is being added to the icon placed on the map. In html it will look like this.

<!-- map -->
<div style="TOP:160px;LEFT:5px;position:absolute;Z-index:0">
<img border="0" src="derwent.png" width="503" height="578" usemap="#clickmap">
</div>

<!-- icons -->
<div style="TOP:467px;LEFT:427px;position:absolute;Z-index:1">
<a href="BOYNTN1/forecastlocation.html"><img border="0" src="fluvial_site_data.gif"
title="Boyntn1: No threshold exceeded"></a>
</div>

The z-index of a icon is determined by the severity of the thresholdWarningLevel that has been crossed, meaning that the locations with the highest crossed thresholdWarningLevel will always be visible (and not potentially hidden behind other icons). Also, future/predicted crossings have a higher z-index then past/observed crossings. The exact Z index for a historical crossing is equal to the severity level. For a forecast crossing it's equal to the maximum configured severity level plus the severity level.

The overlayFormat element can also contain location attribute ids, e.g. " (BASIN)", where tags between "@" signs refer to location attributes that are defined in the locationSets config file. These tags will be replaced with the corresponding attribute values for each location. These values can be different for different locations. See 22 Locations and attributes defined in CSV files, Shape-DBF files or external tables for more information. If required to use a "@" sign in this element without using locationAttributes, then need to add an extra escape character "@" before each "@" sign. In other words "@@" is replaced with a single "@" sign.

Report section

A summary can be added to a report configuration as shown below.

Figure 96 Summary configuration in the reports section

The following elements need to be defined.

• Id: identifier referring to the tag in the template. In this case the corresponding template will contain $SUMMARY(statusAreaMap)$
• formatId: identifier referring to the unique identifier of this map in the declarations section.
• timeSeries: reference to an inputVariable (declared in the report or in the declarations section).
• mapId: reference to a valueAttributeMap;

Tables (overview)

Tables are available in different types, see below. The similarity between them is that they are referenced with the same template tag.

In the Table element the variableId's are specified that are used to create a table. The TableFormat controls how the table is formatted, i.e. the row and column information and how the data is displayed in the map.

Related TAG: $TABLE(tableId)$

1. table: original table;
2. rowPerLocationHtmlTable: table with a row per location
3. rowPerLocationCSVTable: csv table with a row per locations

Tables 3 to 7 have references to cascading style sheets.

table

See Table above

rowPerLocationHtmlTable

The rowPerLocationHtmlTable can be configured directly in <report> section, or in the <declarations> section and reffered from the <report> section. This table is a generic table type and contains for each configured location one row with several columns. The data displayed in a particular column are result of the function that is configured for that column.

For each column the following elements can be configured:

• header : text to display in the column header,
• format: format to use for this column. It refers to the styles that are available in the html template file
• width: width of the column
• backgroundColorFunction: function to determine the background color of the cells in the column (see below)
• foregroundColorFunction: function to determine the foreground color of the cells in the column (see below)
• function: function that determines/computes the value displayed in the column (see below)

backgroundColorFunction and foregroundColorFunction

These elements currently support the following functions:

• THRESHOLDCROSSING(FIRST_THRESHOLDCOLOR; variableId)
• THRESHOLDCROSSING(MAX_THRESHOLDCOLOR; variableId)
• INDEXMAXWARNINGLEVELCOLOR(0; variableId)

function

The existing report functions, that are also used in html-templates, can be configured in the columns. For example MAXVALUE(variableId; numberFormat) or LASTVALUETIME(variableId; dateFormat).

Furthermore the following functions are available:

• LOCATIONATTRIBUTE(attribute; <variableId>; <format>)
  Argument attribute refers to the location attributes. The attributes differ per region.
  The other arguments are optional. For example, use argument 'format' if the attribute is a number or a dateTime. VariableId can be omitted : (area;;numberFormat1)
  There are 3 attributes with a fix name: id, name and shortname. These attribute refer always to the location id,name and short name as configured in the locations.xml.

• PARAMETERATTRIBUTE(attribute; variableId; <format>)
  Argument attribute refers to the parameter attributes. The attributes differ per region.
  The argument format is optional. For example, use argument 'format' if the attribute is a number.
  There are 4 attributes with a fix name: id, name,shortname and unit. These attributes refer always to the parameter id,name, short name and unit as configured in the parameters.xml.

• MODULEINSTANCEATTRIBUTE(attribute; moduleInstanceId_or_variableId; <format>)
  Argument attribute refers to the module instance attributes. The attributes differ per region.
  The argument format is optional. For example, use argument 'format' if the attribute is a number.

• THRESHOLDCROSSING(key;variableId;<format>); see note below!
  The argument 'key' specifies which threshold crossing information should be given. Presently the following keys can be used:
  FIRST_THRESHOLDNAME: name of the first level threshold that has been crossed
  FIRST_VALUE: value of the first crossing
  FIRST_DATETIME: date/time of the first crossing
  FIRST_DATE: date of the first crossing
  FIRST_TIME: time of the first crossing
  MAX_THRESHOLDNAME: name of the highest level threshold that has been crossed
  MAX_VALUE: value of the maximum crossing
  MAX_DATETIME date/time of the maximum crossing
  MAX_DATE: date of the maximum crossing
  MAX_TIME: time of the maximum crossing

• STATISTICS(statistical function; variableId; numberFormatId)
  The argument 'statistical function' specifies which statistical function should be evaluated.  Presently the following functions can be used: COUNT, KURTOSIS, MEAN, MEDIAN, MIN, MAX, RMSQ, RSQUARED, SKEWNESS, STANDARD_DEVIATION, SUM, VARIANCE

rowPerLocationCSVTable

This table is a generic table type and contains for each configured location one row with several columns, separated by commas. The data displayed in a particular column are result of the function that is configured for that column. For each column the following elements can be configured:

• header : text to display in the column header,
• width: optional, width of the column
• function: function that determines/computes the value displayed in the column.

Note that the xml schema allows element 'format', however the format is not applicable to csv table type Also this report type uses templates. The template should contain at least table name. An example:

{noformat}

$TABLE(myTable)$

{noformat}

The rowPerLocationCsvTable can be configured directly in <report> section, or in the <declarations> section and reffered from the <report> section.

Example of the configuration in <report> section:

<report>
	<locationId>M-1000</locationId>
	<locationId>H-2091</locationId>
	<rowPerLocationCsvTable id="myTable">
		<column>
			<header>Naam</header>
			<function>LOCATIONATTRIBUTE(shortname)</function>
		</column>
		<column>
			<header>Tijd maximale overschrijding</header>
			<function>THRESHOLDCROSSING(MAX_DATETIME;Qobserved;dateFormat1)</function>
		</column>
		<column>
			<header>Waarde maximale overschrijding (m3/s)</header>
			<function>THRESHOLDCROSSING(MAX_VALUE;Qobserved;numberFormat1)</function>
		</column>

htmlTable

The htmlTable is the successor of the table described earlier. The configuration of this htmlTable is easier and more readable.

Declarations section

In the declarations sections a format of a table needs to be defined. In the figure below, a format of a htmlTable is configured.

Figure 97 Declaration of a htmlTableFormat

The following elements needs to be defined:

• id: unique identifier (as reference to this table);
• tableStyle: a choice of tableStyle which can be influenced by using the corresponding classes in a cascading style sheet. Choices are tableStyle1 to tableStyle10;
• column: indicates what (of one or more Timeseries) should be shown in the columns (options are: location, time, date, locationcritical, parameter, parameters, choice, allSeries);
• row: indicates what (of one or more Timeseries) should be shown in the rows (options are: location, time, date, locationcritical, parameter, parameters, choice, allSeries);
• relativeWholePeriod: definition of a moving period in time to be displayed (in the example above 24 hours before the day containing T0 of the forecast and 24 after the day containing T0 of the forecast (in total 3 days);
• topLeftText: definition of the text to be displayed in the upper left cell of the table;
• cellFormat: format of the cell containing the values;
• topFormat: Format of the column headers: "0,number,0.00" for a number, "0,date,dd/MMM" for a date.
  • In combination with <column>location</column>, the topFormat specifies what should be written in the header of the column: "1" for location name, "2" for parameter name, "3" for parameter unit (N.B. use curly brackets in place of the quotation marks). Example: <topFormat>{1} - {2} ({3})</topFormat>
  • In combination with <column>parameters</column> or <column>allSeries</column>, the topFormat element can be used to specify a custom column header for each data column. For a table with one data column just specify the custom column header in the topFormat element. For a table with multiple data columns, specify multiple custom column headers (one for each column), separated by "#" symbols, in the topFormat element. E.g. "header1#header2#header3". For parameters the headers can also use "0" for the parameter name and "1" for the unit name. The following example shows a configuration for a table with 2 data columns where the parameter name and value are displayed in the header:  < topFormat >{0} {1}#{0} {1}</ topFormat >
  • To use default headers instead of custom column headers, leave the topFormat element completely empty. If custom column headers are used, then there should be as many custom column headers as data columns in the table, otherwise a warning is logged and default column headers are used instead;
• leftFormat: format of the most left column;
• missingValueText: definition of the missing value character. Choices are: " ", "#", "" or "-";
• nullValueText: definition of the null value (NAN) indicator. Choices are: " ", "-", "-999", "no data";
• scrollable: Use this to split the table into two parts, one for the header row(s) and one for the data rows. The data row part refers to the tableStyle for this table with "_scrollable" appended. This can be used to make the data rows scrollable while the header row(s) remain fixed. For this to work the referred style needs to be defined in the report tables .css file.
• tableBackgroundColors:  Override background colors in a HTML report for certain hours in the week. Works similar to: 02 Time Series Display Configuration (tableBackgroundColors)

Report Section

In the report itself the reference to a tableFormat and the declaration of the content should take place. The schema prescribes as follows:

Figure 98 Declaration and reference of a htmlTable in a report

The following elements need to be defined:

• id: identifier to the template tag (in this case: $TABLE(table1)$);
• formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the htmlTableFormats in the declarations section);
• timeSeries: reference to an inputVariable (declared in the report or in the declarations section).
• cellFormat: addition to tableStyleX class for adding specific styles to the content of the cell;

Remark: htmlTables can contain more than one timeseries. By adding different cellFormats to the series (see picture above) different styles can be attached for display in the table. In this way you can distinguish the two timeseries in the table!

Detailed explanation

The choice of adding a certain tableStyle to a table supplies you with the opportunity to influence the looks and style of the table, its borders, background and content. By setting the tableStyle a number of style classes are being generated in the html-pages. By declaring these classes in a stylesheet (*.css) and ascribe a certain font family, font size, border color, background color etc. you are able to 'polish' the looks of your reports. If a tableStyle class is not mentioned in a stylesheet, it is being displayed using default settings.

The following classes are generated automatically and are added after the tableStyleX in which X stand for an integer in the range 1 to 10.

countTables

thresholdsCrossingsTable

A thresholdCrossingsTable is a table in which the number of thresholds for each level are counted. The number given in the table suggests with the 'worst' case situation. When a timeseries crosses a number of thresholds in a forecast, only the 'worst' threshold crossings are counted. An example of a thresholdsCrossingsTable is given below.

Figure 99 Example of a thresholdCrossingTable (NE Region)

Declarations section

In the declaration sections the layout of the table needs to be defined.

Figure 100 Declaration of a thresholdsCrossingsTable

The following elements needs to be defined:

• id: unique identifier (as reference to this table);
• tableStyle: a choice of tableStyle which can be influenced by using the corresponding classes in a cascading style sheet. Choices are tableStyle1 to tableStyle10;
• thresholdsCrossingsCounterHeaderText: String to be displayed in the table header;
• thresholdsCrossingsTableUpCrossingsHeaderText: not in use anymore: can be left blank.
• thresholdsCrossingsTableDownCrossingsHeaderText: not in use anymore: can be left blank.
• cellFormat: any string but "_thresholds" is recommended: style class of the table header in combination with the typeId (range always starts with a 0);
• topFormat; not in use anymore, can be left blank ;
• colWidth: width of a column in pixels;
• missingThresholdsText: Choice for missing threshold. Choices are: " ", "#", "" or " -";
• noThresholdsCrossed: definition of the null value (NAN) indicator. Choices are: " ", "-", "-999", " no data";
• countIndividualThresholds: true if individual threshold crossings must be counted; false (= default) if per location only the worst case must be counted
• thresholdTypes: array of thresholds, assuming a logical order
  o typeId: textual indication of corresponding threshold level;
  o name: indication of the text to appear in column headers;

Report section

A thresholdsCrossingsTable should be defined in the report as well. E.g. this table needs to be 'filled' with its corresponding timeseries.

Figure 101 Declaration of a thresholdsCrossingsTable in a report

The following elements needs to be defined:

• id: identifier to the template tag (in this case: $TABLE(table1)$);
• formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the thresholdsCrossingsTable in the declarations section);
• mergeLocations: boolean indicator. True means: treat all locations of mentioned timeseries together for combined assessment. False means: extract individual timeseries so that every row indicates one location (timeseries);
• Choice between
  o table; --> this can be used to display a table 'in' another one.
  o tableRow
• formatId: reference to the thresholdsCrossingsTable format;
• id: identifier (mainly for own use/comment);
• timeSeries:
• mapId: reference to a valueAttributeMap;
• Text: reference to an inputVariable (declared in the report or in the declarations section).

Since this type of table is a table in which you can aggregate data (which means combine timeseries) the following option is available: mergeLocations.

thresholdCrossingCountsTable

A thresholdCrossingsCountsTable displays threshold crossing counts depending on which thresholds have been crossed within a given time period. The thresholdCrossingCountsTable is a new version of the thresholdsCrossingsTable. A thresholdCrossingCountsTable has the same layout as a thresholdCrossingCountsTab in the thresholdOverviewDisplay for consistency.

Declarations section

In the declaration sections the layout of the table needs to be defined in a thresholdCrossingCountsTableFormat.

The following options are available:

• id: identifier of this table format.
• thresholdGroupId: id of a thresholdGroup that is defined in the thresholds configuration file. This table displays all thresholds in the specified thresholdGroup.
• relativePeriod: Relative time period for this table. The time period is relative to timeZero. A relative period can be e.g. -3 to +3 hours or e.g. +3 to +6 hours (relative to timeZero).
• countAllActiveThresholds: If true, then this table counts all thresholds that are active (all thresholds that have been crossed). If false, then for a given location this table only takes into account the active threshold with the most severe warning level. Default is false.
• countWarningAreas: If true, then this table counts warning areas, as follows. It is possible to define warning areas for a levelThresholdValue in the thresholdValueSets configuration file. If a crossed levelThresholdValue has warning areas defined, then the number of warning areas is counted for that levelThresholdValue. If a crossed levelThresholdValue has no warning areas defined, then a count of 1 is used for that levelThresholdValue. If this option is false, then for each crossed levelThresholdValue a count of 1 is used (i.e. the warning areas are ignored). Default is true.
• noThresholdsDefinedText: If specified, then this text is shown in cells that correspond to data for which no thresholds are defined. Default is empty space.
• noDataAvailableText: If specified, then this text is shown in cells for which no data is available. Default is "n/a".
• crossingCountZeroText: If specified, then this text is shown in cells for which there are no threshold crossings. Default is "-".
• tableHeaderText: String to be displayed in the table header. The relative period and thresholdGroup name will be appended to this string.
• columnWidth: The width of the columns in the table.
• tableStyle: The tableStyle to use for this table. The available tableStyles are defined in the report tables .css file.
• cellFormat: The cellFormat to use for this table. The available cellFormats for the configured tableStyle are defined in the report tables .css file.
• scrollableTable: Use this to split the table into two parts, one for the header row(s) and one for the data rows. The data row part refers to the tableStyle for this table with "_scrollable" appended. This can be used to make the data rows scrollable while the header row(s) remain fixed. For this to work the referred style needs to be defined in the report tables .css file.

Report section

In the reports section define a thresholdCrossingCountsTable.

The following options are available:

• id: identifier for the template tag (in this case: $TABLE(table1)$);
• formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the thresholdCrossingCountsTableFormats in the declarations section);
• mergeLocations: boolean indicator. True means: treat all locations of mentioned timeseries together for combined assessment. False means: extract individual timeseries so that every row indicates one location (timeseries);
• Choice between
  o timeSeries;
  o table; --> this can be used to display a table within another one.
  o tableRow

flagCountsTable

FlagCountsTable is available since Delft-FEWS release 2011.01. A FlagCountsTable displays flag counts depending on the flags of the values in a time series within a given time period.

Example of a flagCountsTable

Declarations section

In the declaration section the layout of the table needs to be defined in a flagCountsTableFormat.

The following options are available:

• id: identifier of this table format.
• tableStyle: The tableStyle to use for this table. The available tableStyles are defined in the report tables .css file.
• hyperlinkUrl: Optional URL. If specified, then the location name for each time series will be a hyperlink that refers to this URL. It is possible to insert the following tags: !LOCATION_ID!, !LOCATION_NAME!, !PARAMETER_ID! and !PARAMETER_NAME!. The !LOCATION_ID! tag will be replaced with the location id for the time series. The !LOCATION_NAME! tag will be replaced with the location name for the time series. The !PARAMETER_ID! tag will be replaced with the parameter id for the time series. The !PARAMETER_NAME! tag will be replaced with the parameter name for the time series. This can e.g. be used to link each row in this FlagCountsTable to a page (or an anchor within a page) that contains a FlagSourceCountsTable with more detailed information about the time series for that row.
• scrollableTable: Use this to split the table into two parts, one for the header row(s) and one for the data rows. The data row part refers to the tableStyle for this table with "_scrollable" appended. This can be used to make the data rows scrollable while the header row(s) remain fixed. For this to work the referred style needs to be defined in the report tables .css file.

Configuration example:

<flagCountsTableFormat id="flagCountsTableFormat">
	<tableStyle>tableStyle1</tableStyle>
	<hyperlinkUrl>report.html#!LOCATION_NAME!_!PARAMETER_NAME!</hyperlinkUrl>
</flagCountsTableFormat>

Report section

In the reports section define a flagCountsTable.

The following options are available:

• id: Identifier for this FlagCountsTable that is used in the report template html file in the table tag (e.g: $TABLE(table1)$).
• formatId: The id of the FlagCountsTableFormat to use for this FlagCountsTable.
• inputVariableId: One or more ids of inputVariables that are defined at the start of this report. For each time series in the inputVariable(s), there will be one row in the table with the location, parameter and flag counts for that time series. For a given time series this uses only the data within the relativeViewPeriod that is defined for that time series in the timeSeriesSet. If a timeSeriesSet contains multiple time series (e.g. a locationSet), then for each time series in the timeSeriesSet a separate row is created.

Configuration example:

<flagCountsTable id="flagCountsTable" formatId="flagCountsTableFormat">
	<inputVariableId>Cowbeech</inputVariableId>
	<inputVariableId>Romsey</inputVariableId>
	<inputVariableId>CrosslandsDrive</inputVariableId>
</flagCountsTable>

flagSourceCountsTable

FlagSourceCountsTable is available since Delft-FEWS release 2011.01. A FlagSourceCountsTable displays counts of flag sources depending on the flag sources of the values in a time series within a given time period. The flag source for a value contains the reason why that value got a certain flag. For example if a value was rejected by a "hard max" validation rule, then it gets flag unreliable and flag source "hard max".

Example of a flagSourceCountsTable

Declarations section

In the declaration section the layout of the table needs to be defined in a flagSourceCountsTableFormat.

The following options are available:

• id: identifier of this table format.
• tableStyle: The tableStyle to use for this table. The available tableStyles are defined in the report tables .css file.
• scrollableTable: Use this to split the table into two parts, one for the header row(s) and one for the data rows. The data row part refers to the tableStyle for this table with "_scrollable" appended. This can be used to make the data rows scrollable while the header row(s) remain fixed. For this to work the referred style needs to be defined in the report tables .css file.

Configuration example:

<flagSourceCountsTableFormat id="flagSourceCountsTableFormat">
	<tableStyle>tableStyle1</tableStyle>
</flagSourceCountsTableFormat>

Report section

In the reports section define a flagSourceCountsTable.

The following options are available:

• id: Identifier for this FlagSourceCountsTable that is used in the report template html file in the table tag (e.g: $TABLE(table1)$).
• formatId: The id of the FlagSourceCountsTableFormat to use for this FlagSourceCountsTable.
• inputVariableId: The id of an inputVariable that is defined at the start of this report. The time series of this inputVariable is used for this table. This table shows for each validation rule (hard max, hard min, rate of change, etc.) the number of values that were rejected because of that validation rule. This uses only the data within the relativeViewPeriod that is defined for the time series in the timeSeriesSet. If the timeSeriesSet contains multiple time series (e.g. a locationSet), then an error message is given.

Configuration example:

<flagSourceCountsTable id="flagSourceCountsTable1" formatId="flagSourceCountsTableFormat">
	<inputVariableId>Cowbeech</inputVariableId>
</flagSourceCountsTable>

maximumStatusTable

A maximumStatusTable indicates, by colouring, when certain threshold levels are crossed. In this type of table, the rows should be defined individually and can contain more than one series. The boolean value 'mergLocation' plays an important role in combining the locations or treat them individually.

Figure 102 Example of a maximumStatusTable (NE Region)

Declarations section

In the declaration sections the layout of the table needs to be defined.

Figure 103 Declaration of maximumStatusTable

The following elements needs to be defined:

• tableStyle: a choice of tableStyle which can be influenced by using the corresponding classes in a cascading style sheet. Choices are tableStyle1 to tableStyle10;
• id: unique identifier (as reference to this table);
• mainHeaderText: a textual string which is displayed in the table header;
• timeStepsInTable: integer number of timesteps to be displayed in the table. This should be derived from the relativeViewPeriod of the corresponding timeSeries to add:
• timeStepsAggregation: integer number of timesteps to be aggregated (=taken together). Worst status is being displayed.
• timeHeaderInterval: integer number for aggregating the headers of the cells or not. Number '1' means 'no aggregation' so every column has got its own header.
• timeHeaderDisplayMinutes: boolean value for having the minutes displayed;
• colWidth: integer value for the width of the cells;
• showAsSingleColumn: boolean value for displaying the timeseries into one column only (true). If set to 'true' the last value of the timeseries is considered.

Reports Section

In the report itself the necessary timeseries needs to be assigned to the table.

Figure 104 Declaration of a maximumStatusTable in a report

The following elements need to be defined:

• id: identifier to the template tag (in this case: $TABLE(table1)$);
• formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the maximumStatusTables in the declarations section);
• mergeLocations: boolean indicator. True means: treat all locations of mentioned timeseries together for combined assessment. False means: extract individual timeseries so that every row indicates one location (timeseries);
• table: add individual maximumStatusTables here for a correct visualisation (see detailed explanation: 'two tables into one'). In most cases 2: first for observed values, second for forecast table.

For each table:

• formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the maximumStatusTables in the declarations section);
• id: identifier (used for comments only)
• mergeLocations: boolean indicator. True means: treat all locations of mentioned timeseries together for combined assessment. False means: extract individual timeseries so that every row indicates one location (timeseries);
• tableRow: (1 or more)
  o formatId: reference to the thresholdsCrossingsTable format;
  o id: identifier (mainly for own use/comment);
  o timeSeries: (1 or more)
• mapId: reference to a valueAttributeMap;
• Text: reference to an inputVariable (declared in the report or in the declarations section).
  
  

Detailed Explanation: Two tables into one

In fact, the maximumStatusTable is designed as visualised below. To create a nicely aligned table the 'two timeseries tables' (the one with the 'observed' values and the one with the forecast series) are put in individual cells of the outer table. So the outer table only consist of two cells. The left cell contains the observed table, the right cell contains the forecast table. The outer table itself needs to be declared as well!! The report declaration (see above) can be inspected to see this one in practice.

Detailed Explanation: Wide variation of tables

The variation for displaying maximumStatus information is wide. The combination of relativeViewPeriod (length of forecast series), timestep and the desire to aggregate timesteps can all be implemented. The calculation should be correct. If not, several messages will be shown.

Some examples

Source: 12 hrs of 15min data
Display: maximumStatus with 15 minute data, time header by the hour (with minutes)
Configuration

Result: table with 48 time columns with 12 aggregated headers visualising the hour with a minute indication (like in first figure of this section)

Source: 6 hrs of 15min data
Display: maximumStatus with hourly data (no minute indication)
Configuration

Result: table with 6 (time) columns indicating the 'worst' status of that hour.

Example thresholdsCrossingsTable/maximumStatusTable

In a configuration the following timeSeries/InputVariables exist:

The geographical hierarchy is that Area 1 contains 2 Catchments (Catchment1 and Catchment2)

The Region overview should be configured that all catchments belonging to that area are 'put' into one row which is describing the status of that area. This is valid for both the observed as the forecast timeseries. The 'mergeLocations' variable should be put to 'true' because all locations should be merged (combined).

The Area overview should be configured in such way that all catchments are in separate rows. This is valid for both the observed as the forecast timeseries. The 'mergeLocations' variable should be put to 'true' because all locations should be merged (combined).

The Catchment overview forms the exception here. With mergeLocations set to 'False', the corresponding locationSet is extracted into the individual locations and so every location has got its own row.

For the two tables for which this is valid, the last example does not give much additional value for a thresholdsCrossingsTable. Then each row (which is equal to one locatation) will have a '1' in one of the cells. A maximumStatusTable supplies more value because it will indicate when this (maximum) threshold will be reached.
See below mentioned (simplified) figures.

mergedPrecipitationTable

A mergedPrecipitationTable contains both observed rainfall as well as forecast rainfall, preferably in P.merged timeseries. Data can be visualised in configurable time intervals compared to T0 and will appear in separate columns. Additionally, a single column can be added to visualise any parameter (e.g. CWI). An example can be found below (without extra column). In the example below, actually two tables are plotted next to each other. The left table (with names) contains the historical date. The one on the right hand side contains the forecast timeseries and has no name column. A table like this has two header rows to be defined by the user.

Figure 105 Example of a mergedPrecipitationTable (NE Region)

Declaration Section

In the declaration section the layout of the table needs to be defined.

Figure 106 mergedPrecipitationTable configuration in the declarations section

The following elements need to be defined.

• id: unique identifier (as reference to this table);
• tableStyle: a choice of tableStyle which can be influenced by using the corresponding classes in a cascading style sheet. Choices are tableStyle1 to tableStyle10;
• headerRow1Text: text to be displayed in table header (first line);
• headerRow2Text: text to be displayed in table header (second line);
• dataColumns: definition of individual column with a time interval for aggregating precipitation. Each column should contain:
  • columnHeader: text to be displayed in column header (first line);
  • unitHeader text to be displayed in column header (second line);
  • relativeViewPeriod: period to aggregate the data;
    • unit: unit to aggregate. Choices: day/hour/minute/second/week
    • start: start of interval (in time unit) compared to T0;
    • end: end of interval (in time unit) compared to T0;
• nameColumnWidth: integer value of width of the name column (most left column (if present));
• dataColumnWidth: integer value of width of the data columns;
• suppressNameColumn boolean value for setting the name column visible or not. This column, when visible, is filled with the (full) location name of the timeseries which is visualised in this table.

Report section

In the report section the content (timeseries) are 'attached' to this table.

Figure 107 mergedPrecipitationTable in the report section.

The mergedPrecipitationTable in the report section is (very) easy to define. The rule of the 'outer table' is valid here as well. To align the historical and the forecast table nicely, the outer table contains both P.merged tables.

The following elements need to be defined:

• id: identifier (reference to the template tag)
• formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the mergedPrecipitationTables in the declarations section);
• table:
  • id: identifier (used for comments only)
  • formatId: reference to the format of this table (to one of the mergedPrecipitationTables in the declarations section)
  • timeSeries: reference to an inputVariable.

SystemStatusTables

SystemStatusTables display information about the status and behaviour of the FEWS system itself (like in the System monitor).

SystemStatysTables come in different types:

• liveSystemStatus: information about live system: MC and FSS('s);
• exportStatus: information about exported files/reports;
• importStatus: information about files imported;
• scheduledWorkflowStatus: information about (next) scheduled workflows;
• completedWorkflowStatus: information about number of workflows completed in last 24 hrs.
• currentForecastStatus: information about which workflows are set to CURRENT;
• logMessageListing list of logmessages (based on a query)
• forecastHistory: historic overview of forecasts.

In most tables it is possible to add 'benchmark' data to compare the actual and the desired/required situation. The configuration of such a table requires the definition of this benchmark value. Such a table contains a 'Item', "Benchmark' and a 'Status' column.

Besides a 'benchmark' (something to compare the actual status with) additional fields (columns from the database) can be included in the table. A specific boolean value (showOutputFieldsOnly) can be used to either include or exclude these benchmark columns. In most tables this boolean is set to 'False' because most tables contain both status information as well as additional (meta)information. See figure below.

Figure 108 A systemStatusTable is divided into a status part and an extraOutputFields part.

Each type will be briefly explained:

 liveSystemStatus

A liveSystemStatusTable displays information about the status and behaviour of the live system components (MasterController and Forecasting Shell Server(s))

forecastThresholdCrossingXml

The forecastThresholdCrossingXml report generates an xml-file containing threshold crossing information for a given ensemble time series. An example of a generated xml file can be found here.

Configuring the forecastThresholdCrossingXml report requires at least two input variables to be configured. One input variable containing the forecast ensemble time series for which the report must be generated, and a second input variable containing the a time series which has the current level (value) for the same locations. Optionally, additional forecast scenario input variables can be defined, each containing forecast time series (no ensemble) for the same locations as the ensemble input variable.

</report>

The ForecastThresholdCrossing_template.xml can contain normal report tags which will be replaced as usual. This report type also allows several report specific tags:

• %GENERATION_TIME% : The system time at the moment the report is generated.
• %FORECAST_START_TIME% : the t0 with which the report is generated.
• %NEXT_GENERATION_TIME% : if the workflow in which the report is generated is a scheduled task, the next time at which this task will run is reported. Otherwise: "N/A".
• %PREVIOUS_GENERATION_TIME% : if the workflow in which the report is generated has been run before, the last time at which the workflow was run is reported. Otherwise: "N/A"
• %ENSEMBLE% : this tag will be replaced with the <ensemble> element and all of its sub-elements as described below.

The forecastThresholdCrossingXml report type generates an <ensemble> element for the given ensemble input time series. This ensemble element will first contain a number of <scenario> elements equal to the number of forecast scenario time series specified in the configuration. The id and name attributes of each of these <scenario> elements will match the configured id and name for the <forecastTimeSeries> in the configuration. After the <scenario> elements, there will be a <sites> element in which for each location in the given ensemble time series, the current level (taken from the level time series), figures (determined using the <siteFigures> in the configuration) and threshold crossings for each of the scenarios (configured in the <exceedance> element) will be reported. The thresholds which are to be included in the report are all the thresholds named in the <floodClasses> element as well as the thresholds configured in the <additionalThresholds> element.

With each value reported for the forecast scenario time series as well as the level time series, the report will also contain a "flood-class". This flood class is determined using the <floodClasses> configured. The flood class corresponding to a value is the highest of the configured flood class thresholds which is exceeded by the value, or the configured default flood class if none of the thresholds is exceeded.

For each of the sites, the number of ensemble members which cross a threshold is calculated. This is reported as the "exceedance" in the generated report: the percentage of ensemble members which crossed the threshold. This percentage will be formatted using the number format reference by <numberFormatId> if configured. If at least one but less than the configured <minEnsembleMembers> cross the threshold, and there is a <belowMinimumLabel> configured, than the <belowMinimumLabel> will be reported as the "exceedance" instead. In this example "<10%".

If more than the configured <minEnsembleMembers> cross the threshold, the earliest exceedance times for each of the configured <scenario> elements is reported. To obtain these times, only the ensemble members that cross the threshold are taken into account. The times at which these members first cross the threshold are determined and ordered from earliest to latest. For an <earliest> scenario the first time at which an ensemble member crosses the threshold is reported. For a <latest> scenario, the last time is reported. For the configured <percentile> scenarios, the x-th percentile is taken from the ordered list of crossing times. If the percentile would "fall between two values in the list" their weighted average is taken. If an <earliestExceedanceTimeStep> is configured, each of the reported earliest exceedance times is changed to the closest time in the configured time step.

To export a report see the reportExport module instance. However, if you simply want to include your created gif in a html report, you can use <IMG SRC="gif0_0.gif"> in the report template file, where gif0_0.gif refers to the name of your created gif.

Schematic Status Display Reports

Since 2013_01 it is possible to create reports of Schematic Status Display panels in the form of animations in the formats Avi and animated gif as well as snapshots in the form of Png files and Svg files.
For this purpose there will probably already be some Schematic Status Display configuration in the DisplayConfigFiles of the configuration. In order to create a report of a Schematic Status Display panel, most elements of this configuration can be copied manually to the reports configuration file. For configuring a Schematic Status Display panel please refer to Schematic Status Display configuration.

An example Schematic Status Display that contains the following configuration,

	<dateFormat id="DF1">
		<timeZone>
			<timeZoneName>CET</timeZoneName>
		</timeZone>
		<dateTimePattern>dd-MM-yyyy</dateTimePattern>
	</dateFormat>
	<numberFormat id="NF1">
		<pattern>{0,number,##0.00}</pattern>
	</numberFormat>

must be transferred to the report declarations. The definitions of the date format and number format cannot be copied directly to the report configuration since they have a slightly different format.

<reports xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews https://fewsdocs.deltares.nl/schemas/version1.0/reports.xsd" version="1.0">
<declarations>
	<defineGlobal id="ForecastingRegion">IWP-Twentekanalen</defineGlobal>
	<dateFormat id="DF1">
		<timeZone>
			<timeZoneName>CET</timeZoneName>
		</timeZone>
		<pattern>dd-MM-yyyy</pattern>
	</dateFormat>
	<numberFormat id="NF1">{0,number,##0.00}</numberFormat>
		...
</declarations>
<report>
...
// Add Ssd report elements here for generating Avi, Gif, Png or Svg.
...
</report>
</reports>

When first configuring a Schematic Status Display panel report, the scadaPanel section of the Schematic Status Display configuration can be copied directly to the Schematic Status Display Reports configuration. For Svg output the interactive sections will not be supported, so it is recommended to remove these.

Animation in Avi format

With this function an animation of the configured period can be generated for a single Schematic Status Display panel. Use id $SSD_AVI(myId)$ for including the avi file in the reports.

schematicStatusDisplayPanelAvi

		<schematicStatusDisplayPanelAvi id="ssdAvi">
			<scadaPanel id="TK" name="Twentekanalen 10 min">
				<svgFile>Twentekanalen.svg</svgFile>
				<nodeId>Twentekanalen Hydro</nodeId>
				...
			</scadaPanel>
			<width>1024</width>
			<height>800</height>
			<relativePeriod unit="hour" start="-20" end="4"/>
			<timeStep unit="second" multiplier="300"/>
			<movieFrameDurationMillis>200</movieFrameDurationMillis>
			<fileName>SSD_test.avi</fileName>
		</schematicStatusDisplayPanelAvi>

Animation in animated Gif format

With this function an animation of the configured period can be generated for a single Schematic Status Display panel. Use id $SSD_ANIMATED_GIF(myId)$ for including the animated gif file in the reports.

schematicStatusDisplayPanelAnimatedGif

		<schematicStatusDisplayPanelAnimatedGif id="ssdGif">
			<scadaPanel id="TK" name="Twentekanalen 10 min">
				<svgFile>Twentekanalen.svg</svgFile>
				<nodeId>Twentekanalen Hydro</nodeId>
				...
			</scadaPanel>
			<width>1024</width>
			<height>800</height>
			<relativePeriod unit="hour" start="-20" end="4"/>
			<timeStep unit="second" multiplier="300"/>
			<movieFrameDurationMillis>200</movieFrameDurationMillis>
			<fileName>SSD_test.gif</fileName>
		</schematicStatusDisplayPanelAnimatedGif>

Snapshots in Png format

With this function one or more png images can be generated of a single Schematic Status Display panel. Use id $SSD_PNG(myId)$ for including the png files in the reports.

schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsPng

Sample demonstrating use of creating png snapshots that includes Schematic Status Display transformations:

	<schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsPng>
		<variable>
			...
		</variable>
		<transformation id="UserSimpleTransformation">
			<user>
				<simple>
					<expression>Waterstanden_10min * 100</expression>
					<outputVariable>
						<variableId>Waterstanden_10min_times_100</variableId>
					</outputVariable>
				</simple>
			</user>
		</transformation>

		<scadaPanel id="TK" name="Twentekanalen  10 min">
....
		</scadaPanel >
		<width>1024</width>
		<height>800</height>
		<snapshot id="ssd1">
			<relativeTime unit="hour" value="-4"/>
			<fileName>SSD_test1.png</fileName>
		</snapshot>
		<snapshot id="ssd2">
			<relativeTime unit="hour" value="-3"/>
			<fileName>SSD_test2.png</fileName>
		</snapshot>
	</schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsPng>

Snapshots in Svg format

With this function one or more svg images can be generated of a single Schematic Status Display panel. Use id $SSD_SVG(myId)$ for including the svg files in the reports.
The interactive parts of the Schematic Status Display such as Left Single Click Action and Left Double Click Action that can be configured when the Schematic Status Display is run in Delft-FEWS are not supported when exported as .svg report and it is recommended to remove these interactive sections where appropriate.

schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsSvg

	<schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsSvg>
		<scadaPanel id="TK" name="Twentekanalen  10 min">
....
		</scadaPanel >
		<width>1024</width>
		<height>800</height>
		<snapshot id="ssd1">
			<relativeTime unit="hour" value="-4"/>
			<fileName>SSD_test4.svg</fileName>
		</snapshot>
		<snapshot id="ssd2">
			<relativeTime unit="hour" value="-3"/>
			<fileName>SSD_test5.svg</fileName>
		</snapshot>
	</schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsSvg>

From the FEWS version  2018.02 it is possible to configure filename prefix and suffix for schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsPng and schematicStatusDisplayPanelSnapshotsSvg reports.

If fileNamePrefix is configured it will add the system time date to the beggining of file name in the configured format. If fileNameSuffix is configured it will add the system time date to end of the file name in the configured format.

<snapshot id="SchematicStatusSnapshot">
   <relativeTime unit="day" value="0"/>
   <fileName>scada.png</fileName>
   
   <fileNamePrefix>
              <timeZeroFormattingString>yyyy_</timeZeroFormattingString>
   </fileNamePrefix>
       
   <fileNameSuffix>
              <timeZeroFormattingString>MMDDHHmm</timeZeroFormattingString>
   </fileNameSuffix>   
</snapshot>
