One of the most important properties of DELFT FEWS as a forecasting system is its ability to efficiently deal with large volumes of dynamic data. Dynamic data covers mainly time series data in various formats (scalar- 0D, vector - 1D, longitudinal profile - 1D and 2D, grid - 2D and 3D, and polygon data - 2D). Dynamic data also includes the management of model states produced by the system. As Delft-FEWS is not only used as operational forecasting system, but also as a system to run climate scenario's the length of each time series can be up to 2,000,000,000 time steps.

By defining a 'visibilityControllingFlagSourceColumnId' element in the timeSeriesSet, the existence of a flagSource Column for a particular timeseries (step) can be used as a condition for for example a transformation. When the configured flagSourceColumn is not existing for a particular timeseries step, the value will be perceived as 'Missing' for the transformation. All values that did not pass this validation step are removed on read. They are set to missing for equidistant timeseries and removed for non-equidistant timeseries. The flagSourceColumnId needs to be defined in flagSourceColumn.xml configuration file.
