When a data value is deleted (either by the user or by a different action), the flagSources for that timestep will remain. For an individual value in the time series table, the history of that value can be shown using the right-mouse menu - Show history (CTRL+H). This menu also shows the 'state' of the flagSourceColumns for each time the value was changed in the datastore.

Time of Validity

Since 2016.01 it is possible to open up 'Time of Validity' (Tv) related functionality in the timeSeries display, by configuring a timeOfValidity element in the flagSourceColumns.xml configuration file. 

 

Activating Time of Validity 'mode'

A Tv button becomes available in the time series button panel, which activates all 'Time of Validity' related functionality. The button is only be visible in the button panel, when the timeOfValidity element has been defined in the flagSourceColumns.xml file. Note that none of the Tv functionality is available when the Tv button is not activated.

Besides the functionality as described below, when in Tv button from the toolbar is activated, the time series display will be set to 'edit mode' automatically.

 

Definition Time of Validity

...

  • the TimeOfValidity flagSourceColumn, as defined in flagSourceColumns.xml, will be used
  • Anchor
    validationStatus_timeOfValiditySearchPeriod
    validationStatus_timeOfValiditySearchPeriod
    The timeseries is read for the maximum relative view period timeOfValiditySearchPeriod, as defined globally in the timeseriesDisplayConfig.xml configuration file
  • The timestep before the first timestep where the Tv flagSource is not available is considered as the Tv for that time series
  • When no single timestep within the timeOfValiditySearchPeriod has the Tv flagSourceColumn filled, the timeseries will have no Tv
  • When the first timestep within the timeOfValiditySearchPeriod does not have the flagSourceColumn filled but later timesteps do have the Tv flagSource, the Time of Validity will be equal to this first timestep within the timeOfValiditySearchPeriod
  • Read Only time series should be ignored when calculating Time of Validity

An example for An example for a single timeseries is given in the image below

...

  • The Tv furthest in the past of all the time series under the display node will be considered as the display Time of Validity.
  • The Tv also needs to be calaculated for the (sub)directories in which the displaynodes are contained.
  • Read Only time series should be ignored when calculating Time of Validity
  • Recalculating (and displaying the (updated)) Tv should take place after every save action.

Time of Validity in Database Viewer

When the timeOfValidity element has been defined in the flagSourceColumns.xml file, the Time of Validity will be calculated for  each timeseries in the database lister. Note that , - different from the time series in the time series display, - the Tv is calculated based on the complete time series.


Time of Validity marker

When Time of Validity has been configured, a Tv marker for the time series display will be displayed  in the timeSeries display (when configured).

...

  • the user selects switches from display node
  • the user changes the view period

Tv in displayNode text

The Tv that is calaculated for all timeseries in a display node will be shown in the display node text.

...

It is noted that the this automatic ordering of the display nodes within a (sub)directory will only be executed at the moment the Tv button is selected. When a validator wants to update the sorting, the Tv button can be de-activated and activated again.

 

Update Tv flagSource column

When Tv button is selected, the cursor will default to last time step of the view period, whenever:

  • the user selects switches from display node
  • the user changes the view period (use case is CTRL+ALT+Right quickkey to change viewperiod, but this also works for manual zooming)

Note: the cursor will update to the last time step for which data is available

When the Tv button is selected, the user is able to update the flagSource column related to Tv for all timesteps up to the current position of the cursor (current selected timestep) with the defaultFlagSource as defined in the flagSourceColumn configuration file.

  • using an option through the rightmouse menu
  • using a simple keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+T

 The update will only take place for the view period. When this update function is used when Tv is outside the view period of the display, a pop up will be displayed warning the user that a validation gap is created. The update action will not be performed in this case.
