The Data Display and Data Editor offer graphical displays for presenting and editing of data. Both have nearly the same functionality, but only the Data Editor allows you to edit data. In addition, the data editor Data Editor can only be opened once, while multiple instances of the data display Data Display can be opened.

This display offers the following features:

  • Display of time series in:
    graphs
    • Graphs (scalar/longitudinal profiles)
    tables
    • Tables (scalar/longitudinal profiles)
  • Tabular data editor
  • Display of actual data with:
    • Historical events
    • Threshold levels

Data is displayed in a table and a graph simultaneously. The splitter between the table and the graph can be moved to modify the display. Select the data series , that should be displayed with help of using the List Boxes and/or the Map Display (see also Filters).

Decimals for the reference values (ticks) in the chart autorange between 0 and 6, always using the lowest amount necessary to differentiate between ticks.

When the display is started through the FEWS Tools menu item Data Editor, data can be edited and the edited data can be stored in the FEWS data basedatabase. When the display is started through the FEWS Tools menu item Data Display or through the FEWS toolbar, the data can only be viewed.

Data Display

Press the [Data Display] button Image Removed on on the toolbar to present graphs displaying the data. The splitter is normally positioned on the left of the display.

When data series of different data types have been selected, the data will be presented in different subplots, with the data series of a single data type merged into one subplot.

Image RemovedImage Added

The data in the graph is updated automatically in case when new data becomes available. Below the graph, the workflows are listed that generated the forecast time series in the graphare listed. Their numbers are used in the graph legend and table headers tooas well.

Time series and graph order

There are specific rules for time series ordering. For time series from the data viewer, the order of filters is used.

...

Time series are first ordered

...

by their filter and then according to their time series set within the filter.

...

There are also rules for the ordering of the graphs when the time series come from the data viewer/filters.

The graphs

...

follow the order of the parameter groups defined in Filters.xml.

Image Removed Timeseries Lister

This button will add below the display a database viewer of the timeseries that are displayed. The database records are visualised as individual rows, which can be selected. When selected it can be browsed through (all columns). All meta information and statistics are calculated on-the-fly and are not stored. Within selections or filters (e.g. on start/end time) the content of the (visible) columns are updated immediately. There are many columns which can be viewed: general columns about module instance, location, parameter, disk space and all kind of relevant meta information about the selected record(s).

Besides the 'general' metadata, the basic statistics of that row can be inspected. These basic statistics are sum, average, maximum, minimum, etc. The remaining columns describe the quality of the data. If the user e.g. wants to know how many values are 'unreliable' and how many 'periods' of unreliable data are available, this information can be retrieved. The same is true for all kinds of combinations of doubtful, completed and corrected data. This same functionality (number of records, periods) is available for primary and secondary validation results. This means that the user can inspect number of records and periods of e.g. hard maximums and flag comparison or series comparison.

When multiple data series are selected for a single data type (parameter), the graphs will be placed in one subplot of the graph. This sometimes complicates the analysis of time series with different data ranges. By clicking the above-mentioned button, you can change the layout of the chart to either:

  • Merged into a single graph
  • Stacked in different subplots
Image AddedScale to show unreliable data

This button can be used to focus on time intervals with unreliable data within the selected time series. Data is marked as unreliable if values exceed hard limits.

Image AddedShow data labels

Clicking the 'Show data labels' button allows you to display quality flags for the data you are presenting. The information is shown at the bottom of the screen.

The following color codes have been used:

  • The upper line indicates the origin of the data:

    • Original data: no line is displayed
    • Automatically corrected data (original data flagged as unreliable and automatically interpolated): blue line
    • Automatically completed data (original data is missing and interpolated by system): magenta line
    • Manual corrected data (original data edited by a user): dark blue line
    • Manual completed data (filled up by a user): dark magenta line
  • The middle line indicates the quality of the data:

    • Reliable data: no line is displayed
    • Doubtful data: orange
    • Unreliable data: yellow
  • The lower line indicates where comments have been added to the data:

    • No comment: no line is displayed

It is possible to show checkboxes in the legend to quickly hide/unhide time series in the time series dialog. You can find the option to show legend checkboxes in the chart dropdown button in the toolbar.

Toggling off a checkbox will only hide the individual time series. If you toggle off all time series in a chart or subplot, the plot will still show an empty chart. This is by design so that the checkboxes still indicate which time series can be toggled back on. To hide an entire chart or subplot, you should use the TimeSeries Visibility Dialog with the legend checkboxes disabled.

Data Editor

The Graph and Editor display has a table and an edit mode. 

Image RemovedImage Added

The most left leftmost column shows displays the date and time of the data. The period displayed spans the overall period defined in the filters for all time series.

The colours colors in the headings of the columns correspond with the line colour color in the graph.

In the date/time column, different colours colors are used to provide a logical meaning to certain important moments:

  • Light blue: historical data, either observed or hindcast (data before T~0~ T0)
  • Dark blue: forecast data (data after T~0~ T0)

For the data columns, the background colour color is used to indicate the quality of the data, identified by the data flags set of the Validation utility. Further, an indication of the editability of the data is given by the the background colourcolor. The meaning of the background colours colors in the data fields is:

  • White: reliable, editable
  • Light yellow: doubtful
  • Bright yellow: unreliable
  • Gray: not editable

The font colour color in the data fields indicates the data origin. Following colours The following colors are used:

  • Black: original data
  • Blue: corrected (original data flagged "Unreliable" and interpolated)
  • Magenta: completed (original data missing and interpolated)

The edit mode can be enabled from the toolbar with the Image Removed Enable the "Enable Edit mode" button.  Data Data (only those with a white background) can be edited by double-clicking a field in the column. Editing may be done in the table directly. The result of an edit action is directly displayed in the corresponding graph. Manually corrected data will be saved to the database by disabling the Edit mode again from the toolbar. A pop-up will ask to save the edited data to the database. With [OK ], the data is saved,   [NO ], the data is not saved and with [Cancel], changes will be undone.

Through manual editing of data, the source of the data changes from original to corrected. The font colour color used for edited data is blue to indicate that it is completed data. The background colour color remains white, as the data has not yet been validated. If, however, after pressing [Apply], validation indicates that the value exceeds certain validation limits, the background colour color will be set accordingly.

ReadOnlyPeriod

Since 2020.01, it is has been possible to "freeze" part of a time series and make that part uneditable. This can be useful if the values need to be evaluated and verified, than then used in different systems. This ensures that they all contain the same data , and that cannot change.   This can be done by configuring a ReadOnlyPeriod. This contains a relative time , and a time series filter. All time series that match the filter become uneditable before the given relative time. Exempel Example configuration:

Code Block
languagexml
linenumberstrue
<!-- This item is not fully configured, only displayed to show the position of readOnlyPeriod in the XML file-->
<description>...</description>
<!-- This item is not fully configured, only displayed to show the position of readOnlyPeriod in the XML file-->
<generalDisplayConfig>...</generalDisplayConfig>
<!-- This item is not fully configured, only displayed to show the position of readOnlyPeriod in the XML file-->
<defaultViewPeriod unit="day" start="-5" end="5"/>
<!-- This item is not fully configured, only displayed to show the position of readOnlyPeriod in the XML file-->
<globalDatumLocationSetId>...</globalDatumLocationSetId>
<scrollerDefaultViewPeriod start="-2" end="2" unit="hour"/>
<readOnlyPeriod>
   <relativeTime value="-2" unit="day"></relativeTime>
   <timeSeries>
      <locationId>LocA</locationId>
   </timeSeries>
</readOnlyPeriod>

In this case, data older than 2 days before the system time, in a time series where the location ID is LocA, becomes uneditable.

You can configure as many readOnlyPeriods as you wish. They should be configured in the TimeSeriesDisplayConfig, following scrollerDefaultViewPeriod. The image bellow shows the time from when the time series becomes uneditable. "Frozen" time series can be edited, if "enable editing read only period" option is selected. Time series that are entirely uneditable remain so.

Editing data labels

Data labels can also be edited from the Table when the  Image Removed Enable Edit mode is active. Press the right mouse button when selecting one or multiple cells in the table and select the Mark option. It is now possible to change the data label of a value to reliable, doubtful, etc.. or remove the Manual Data Label Marks. A special data label is the Persistent Void or Persistent Unreliable data label, this label is used by the secondary validation module.
