What-if Scenario Display

The What-if Scenario display allows for the definition of What-if Scenarios. The What-if Scenarios can be used, when running forecast via the Manual Forecast display. The latter allows for selection of What-if Scenarios defined in the What-if Scenario display.

• the use of a user defined typical profile
• the use of a complete alternative module dataset
• the use of an alternative subset of module parameters

Transformation

In the field Select Input Variable , an input time series can be selected from a drop-down list for transformation.

...

The buttons \[Import All\] and \[Export All\] allow saving and retrieving of sets of what-if scenarios when the local data store is renewed. The display can be left with \[Close\].

What-if Scenarios can be run via the Manual Forecast Display.

In the User Defined Profile Tab, the user can define a user defined profile that may be used that as an input time series for a workflow. To add a user defined profile the data should be entered in a table. First press the \[Add New Scenario\] button to start a new What-if scenario.

Module Data Sets and Module Parameters

This tab allows the user to select alternative module datasets. The general usage of this type of What-if scenario is similar to the previous types.

Via the fields _Select Module Data Set File_ and _Select Module Data Set File Version_ , an alterative module data set can be selected. When an Operator Client is used an alternative module data set should first be loaded in the FEWS data base through the Configuration Management. When a Stand Alone system is used an alternative module data set can also be locate in the "\config\ModuleDataSetFiles" directory. The selected alternative module Data Set is actually added to the What-if Scenario by pressing \[Add to List...\]. This action can be repeated when required to add additional alternative Module Data sets to the list.

Similarly, alternative Module Parameters can be selected via the Module Parameter tab. In this case the fields _Select Module Parameter File_ and _Select Module Parameter File Version_ must be used.

The number of What-if Scenarios in the system can become quite large. To limit the number of visible What-if Scenarios each scenario may either be deleted or made invisible to all users.

Click the \[Edit Visibility\] button to edit the visibility of the What-if Scenarios in the system or delete them. 

...

What-if Scenarios marked with an asterix are persistent, indicating that they both can not be deleted or made invisible.
