In the FEWS Explorer and the TimeSeries Display, a number of several options are available under the <F12>key. They are meant to be used during These are intended for debugging or testing purposes, and useful functionality might end up in be integrated into the GUI in a later version. Below are the available options available in 2016version 2024.01, most . Most of the options are self-explanatory, but some additional descriptions of the functionality are included here.:

NB. If option <timeSeriesStatus>remotely updated snapshot</timeSeriesStatus> is enabled in the explorer.xml an additional F12 option appears 'time series status'. This option allows the user to 'load database snapshot' or 'update database snapshot'. These snapshot files are used where the calculation of the status icon is complex or has a long relative view period, thus improving the refresh performance of these icons.

module runs and for the current branches. This can |
give cause problems when the historical module instance |
id state is also used in another workflow that does not produce states. |
Code The code has been changed |
so it will in till up to the system time. A folder structure |
to is created for the exported warm states for both |
export warm states export 'all' warm states exports. The most recent state in the current branch per module instance is exported. |
