 This for example used

The way nodes are connected plays an important role when running IFD runs from the forecast panel. workflows in IFD mode.

The example below In the example shows the situation before the forecaster starts a an IFD run for the node STKA2. The topology tree shows that

this node has not run yet and that it is connected to two nodes SBFQ2 and ISKQ2.

When the forecaster starts an IFD run for this node FEWS will detect that it is connected to other nodes which have to run to this run.

One of these nodes (SBFQ2) also has a previous node which has to run prior to running this node. Before running node STKA2 the IFD system will make sure that first all the necessary previous nodes are run in the correct order before node STKA2 will be run.
