In the forecaster notes system, users can acknowledge messages with level ERROR and FATAL from other users. Thus showing that they read and/or handled the note made by the other user. There is no similar functionality present in the forecast product information panel. Note that messages with level INFO and WARN do not have to be acknowledged.

forecastProductInfoDisplay.xml 

Since version 2022.01 a specific display config file has been introduced in order to define default settings for the product info panel.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<forecastProductInfoDisplay xmlns="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wldelft.nl/fews http://fews.wldelft.nl/schemas/version1.0/forecastProductInfoDisplay.xsd">

	</columns>
</forecastProductInfoDisplay>

This applies to the visibility of columns, each column can be made invisible by default.

This will be overruled if the user changes the column visibility via the right mouse show/hide columns option also introduced in 2022.01.

These settings will be stored in the user settings, which will overrule the defaults from the config.

Using the Forecast Product Information

...

• Name: the name of the product this information applies to.
• Forecast Time: the forecast time or range of forecast times this information applies to.
• Product Time: the time at which the product time series was added to the database. This is only available when automatic filtering is on, since without automatic filtering a product information could apply to several time series which were created at different times.
• User: the user that created or edited the product information, or "System" if it is a system comment.
• Modification Time: the time at which the product information was created or last edited.
• Confidence: the confidence level set by the user when creating or editing the product information.
• Comment: the comment entered by the user when creating or editing the product information.
• Classification: the classification level set by the user when creating or editing the product information.

Disapproving External Forecasts

An external forecasts product for a single external forecast time can be disapproved by ticking the check box in the "Disapproved" column. This check box is only available for the system product (non comment) rows that represent an external forecast. When you disapprove an external forecast all the time series related to this product for the a single external forecast time will no longer be visible in displays and no longer used by any workflow run executed after the disapproving. It is possible to undo the disapproving to enable the forecast again. You need the configured editPermission for the product to disapprove a forecast. Additionally product info rows for disapproved forecasts between the used external forecast time and the system time are added to the panel. The event codes codes "ExternalForecast.Disapproved" and "ExternalForecast.Approved" are used in the log message on (dis)approving. The log message contains the user name, forecast time and product id.
