The top of the forecast panel shows a button bar. By default this button bar will look like this.

The Image Removed icon indicates that the IFD is edit-mode, this means that the forecaster is allowed to create modifiers.

By pressing this button the IFD can be set in read-only mode.

The Image Removed icon can be used to start runs in IFD-mode. When a leaf node is selected the workflow of the selected node will run.

When a group node is selected all the leaf nodes of that group will be started.

The Image Removedicon can be used to promote a local IFD run to a server run. The Image Removed button can be used to start a run at a FSS.

Since the 2018.01 release it is possible to define a secondary workflow for a node. If for any node in the configuration a secondary workflow is defined then the button bar will look like this:

The Image Removed button is added to the button bar. Clicking on this button starts the secondary workflow of the selected node.

In the panel below the buttons are explained in the detail.

The first IFD FEWS systems had a button bar with a lot more buttons (shown below). This original bar can be activated by using the topology.xml.

The  button can be used to switch between edit-mode and read only-mode. The button is used to step to the next leaf node in the topology tree.
