This optional section allows to specify the handling of date and time in the GUI.
timeZoneOffset or timeZoneName
The configured time zones will be used to show date/time in the GUI (time series editor, status bar, t0 of the forecasts ,..). All configured time zones will be shown in the current system time change dialog.
dateTimeFormat
This element specifies how date/time should be displayed in FEWS, except the clock in the status bar. The dateTimeFormat should be configured according to the specifications listed here. When specifying a T0 in the global properties file, the configured dateTimeFormat should be obeyed.
cardinalTimeStep
Specifies the time step for entering the date/time in the Explorer GUI.
adjustSystemTimeAutomatically
Specifies if the explorer's system time is adjusted automatically or not. Default: false for a stand alone and true for an operational client. Note that for a stand alone, a T0 can be specified via the global properties, in which case adjustSystemTimeAutomatically will always be set to false despite its configuration.
Since 2017.02 a stand alone will store the system time (T0) in the user settings and load it from the user settings upon start-up, if and only if adjustSystemTimeAutomatically is set to false. Note that since adjustSystemTimeAutomatically is false by default for stand alone systems, this is the new default behaviour. If adjustSystemTimeAutomatically is configured as true, the system time will be adjusted to the current time instead. If a T0 is specified in the global properties, this T0 will be used instead.
systemTimeTrigger
Use this option to update the system time with the latest (external) forecast time of all the specified time series. If both external and simulated forecast series are configured, the latest forecast time of all the configured series will be used. This option wil work only if the automatic updating of system time is allowed, typically it is in OC or if the option adjustSystemTimeAutomatically is true. Time series can be specified via two elements (both can be used at the same time and both can appear an unbounded amount of times):
- <externalForecastTimeSeries>
- <simulatedForecastTimeSeries>
Panel sizes
This optional section allows the panel sizes to be pre-set by the configuration as a percentage of the window size.
...
Format definition for time strings in displays (e.g. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss is resolved to 2004-07-03 10:43:26)
cardinalTimeStep
Default cardinal time step for the system. The system time will be rounded down to the actual time to the closest cardinal time step.
