By default, local modifiers are committed when the user starts a server run in which these modifiers are used. When this option is enabled the modifiers will be committed directly after the moment they are changed.

Assigning modifiers to whatifs

By default, modifiers are always applied to the workflow

By default

Location attribute modifiers

Currently there is only one type of modifier, the locationAttributeModifier, available to modify location attributes. This type has however a lot of configuration options so it can be used in a lot of different ways.

Location Attribute Modifier

This type is the only type available to modify location attributes. The section will explain the available configuration options in detail.

Basic examples

Although this modifier type offers a lot of configuration options, it is possible to configure a basic location attribute modifier without much effort.

Below an example.

		<locationAttributeModifier id="example" name="example">
			<modifiableGroup name="exampleGroupA">
				<locationSetId>MODIFIABLE_PROJECTS_QO_Avg_Min</locationSetId>
				<attribute id="wQO_Avg_Req_Day_RT">
					<comment>Original value: @wQO_Avg_Req_Day_RT@</comment>
				</attribute>
				<attribute id="wQO_Avg_Min_Day_RT">
					<comment>Original value: @wQO_Avg_Min_Day_RT@</comment>
				</attribute>
			</modifiableGroup>
		</locationAttributeModifier>

The basic example above configures a modifier which can be used to modify two attributes of all the locations in locationSet MODIFIABLE_PROJECTS_QO_Avg_Min.

Below a screenshot of this modifier in the modifiers panel.

Image Removed

The modifier shows the original and the modified values by default. To hide the original values you can use the option <showOriginalValues>

<locationAttributeModifier id="example" name="example">
			<modifiableGroup name="exampleGroupA">
				<locationSetId>MODIFIABLE_PROJECTS_QO_Avg_Min</locationSetId>
				<attribute id="wQO_Avg_Req_Day_RT">
					<comment>Original value: @wQO_Avg_Req_Day_RT@</comment>
				</attribute>
				<attribute id="wQO_Avg_Min_Day_RT">
					<comment>Original value: @wQO_Avg_Min_Day_RT@</comment>
				</attribute>
				<tabularLayout>
					<showOriginalValues>false</showOriginalValues>
				</tabularLayout>
			</modifiableGroup>
</locationAttributeModifier>

When this option is set to false, the original values will be hidden in the panel.

Image Removed

In the example above the attributes are located in the rows of the table and the locations are positioned in the columns of the table. To switch the locations to the rows and the attributes to the columns the option <locationOrientation> can be used.

Below an example.

Valid time

The behaviour of the valid time for simulated time series and external historical time series is as follows:

When modifiers are defined in the period before valid time, they will always be valid.

Image Added

The situation changes when modified values are placed in the future. When the valid time is on or after time zero, all modified values are valid and will be used.

Image Added

Later, when time has proceeded and valid time is before time zero, the modified values AFTER valid time are not valid anymore.

Image Added

The behaviour of the valid time for external forecasting time series is as follows:

If a modifier has a valid time then it will only be applied if the external forecast time is the same as the valid time. If a modifier doesn't have a valid time then it will always be valid.

Assigning modifiers to whatifs

By default, modifiers are always applied to the workflow

With the introduction of the new WhatIf Templates/WhatIf Editor functionality in 2021.01, one can configure the system to allow modifiers to be created in the What-If Editor and only to be applied in a whatif.

This behavior is specified in element <whatIfModifierType> available in each modifierType, which offers four options:

1. always apply in workflow (default)
2. apply according to creation method (since 2022.02)
3. apply modifier if referenced in a what-if workflow
4. never apply in a what-if workflow (i.e. always apply unless running a workflow with a whatif attached)

ModifierTypes configured with case 1 (always apply in workflow) represent the default behaviour. The associated Modifiers can be created in the ModifiersDisplay or in the TimeSeriesDisplay. These modifiers can not be created in the WhatIf Editor.

ModifierTypes configured with case 2 (apply according to creation method) can be created in the ModifiersDisplay or in the WhatIf Editor. When created in the ModifiersDisplay the modifier will apply in the regular forecast workflow, but will never be applied in a what-if forecast workflow. When created in the WhatIf Editor, theyare tied to a specific what-if and will only be applied in the associated what-if forecast workflow.

ModifierTypes configured with case 3 (apply modifier if referenced in a whatif workflow) can only be created in the WhatIf Editor. The created modifier is directly associated with the whatif-instance and will only be applide in a whatif workflow. The created modifier will never be applied in a regular workflow.

ModifierTypes configured with case 4 (never apply in a what-if workflow) allows creation of modifiers in the ModifiersDisplay or in the TimeSeriesDisplay. These modifiers can not be created in the WhatIf Editor.the created modifier will only apply in a regular forecast and not in a what-if forecast.

Modifiers can become part of a what-if by referencing the modifierType in the whatifTemplates.

Visibility of modifiers in the IFD

When a modifier is of a type without a What-if modifier type configured then the modifier is visible when the modifier is used at the selected topology node or what-if node. But when the modifier is of a type with a What-If modifier type configured then different rules apply.

Attribute config options

The following config options are available for the <attribute> element:

• read only,
• visible,
• timeSeriesValueClosestToStateSelectionStartTime,
• useSystemTimeAsDefaultvalue,
• useTimeOfFirstReliableValueInTimeSeries,
• selection,
• conditional selection,
• comment.

Read only

This option will make attribute read-only in the display

Visible

It is possible to configure an export-button in the location attribute panel. In some cases it is necessary to export a complete set of location attributes which includes attributes which should not be editable or visible in the location attribute modifiers panel. For this special case it is possible to define location attributes which are invisible. These attributes will be exported to file but will not be editable in the location attribute modifiers panel.

TimeSeriesValueClosestTostateSelectionStartTime

This option can be used to define a set time series from which the value of the attribute should be derived.  

The value will be determined in the following way:

1. Select the time series from the defined set which has the same location as the location from the location attribute,
2. Select the value at the selected state time from the IFD. If a state selection period is defined the start of the period will be used to select a value.

Below a config example.

useSystemTimeAsDefaultValue

This element can be used define a default value for a date/time attribute. If this option is selected the initial value is set to the system time. When this option is used a checkbox will be shown after the date/time selection box. If this checkbox is selected then a modifier will be created for this attribute with the current value of the date/time box. When an existing modifier is selected and there is a modified value for the attribute in this modifier then the checkbox will also be selected.

useTimeOfFirstReliableValueInTimeSeries

This option is similar to the option useSystemTimeAsDefaultValue, but instead of setting the default value to the system time the default time will be derived from a time series. A time series set can be configured for this option. The first time of the time series array for which a reliable value is available will be used.

Selection

The element <selection> can be used to predefine the list of options which are available for a certain attribute. The predefined list op options can be defined by:

• a list of location id's,
• a location set,
• a hard-coded predefined list of options,
• a multi-value attribute which contains all the options which are available.

The conditional selection can be used to disable other attributes depending on which option is selected for an attribute. For example if option A is selected for a certain attribute X then attribute Y should be disabled and attribute Z should be enabled. If option B is selected then attribute Z should be disabled and attribute Y should be enabled. Below an example.

Define which locations are modifiable

To define from which locations the attributes can be modified there are 3 options available:

1. locationSetId,
2. locationId,
3. timeSeries

When the first two options are used the set of modifiable locations is determined in the following way. After selecting a topology node the module config quick scanner will determine which locations are available in the workflow of the selected node. The intersection of the locations which are found for the selected node and the configured locations (by either a location set or a list of locations) is the set of modifiable locations for the selected node.

The option timeSeries can be used to define a filter. First all the time series which are  used in the topology workflow are determined. Then the found time series are filtered by using the defined filter the locations of the resulting time series are the modifiable locations for a toplogy node.

Reverse order modifiers

This modifier can be used to reverse the data hierarchy of the merge simple transformation.

When this modifier is active on the transformation the data hierachy is reversed.

Modifier by which module parameter type 'table' can be modified. This modifier presently supports reordening of the table rows for the given moduleParameterId. This moduleParameterId refers to the 'table' parameter defined in pi_modelparameters.xml. When a modifier is created, the original table values are filled in by default. It enables the user to re-order the "priorities" in the modifier display.

• The time series modifier has always a start- and end date.
• The time series modifier can (Optionally, if configured) have a valid time.

When a valid time is used the behaviour is different for time series types:

• When a modified time series is a simulated forecast timeseries and the valid time is equal to time zero (or later) then the entire modifier will be applied, otherwise the modifier will only be applied up to the valid time. When a modifier is created the valid time will be equal to the system time. In this situation the entire modifier will be applied. When the modifier is still available and used in later runs with a later time zero then the modifier will only be partly applied up to the valid time. This functionality was developed for the following situation. When the data of a simulated time series before time zero is a copy of the observed data this part of the simulation is not likely to change in simulations which are executed at a later time. So the part of the modifier before time zero (valid time) is still valid in later runs. However the part of the modifier after time zero is likely to be invalid because this part of the time series more likely to change in later runs.
• When a modified time series is an external forecast time series, and no valid time is configured, the modifier is valid for all external forecast times.
• When a modified time series is an external forecast time series, and a valid time is configured, the modifier is valid for the valid time only.

The forecaster can modify time series by making changes in table or in the graph. The changes in the graph are made by clicking in the graph.

• When the user clicks from left to right then the values between the points are interpolated.
• When the user clicks from right to left only the newly added or changed points are adjusted but no interpolation will be done between the last two points.
• When more than one time series is shown in the display it is possible to make a selection of which time series should edited when making changes by clicking in the graph.
• The time series which should be changed can be selected by clicking on the legend of that example time series in the graph.

Besides modifying the time series by editing values in the graph or table, processing functions can be selected from the dropdownbox. Available processing functions are:

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide
• replace
• missing
• ignore time series
• time series

When one of the options add, subtract, multiply, divide or replace is chosen than a text box in which a value can be entered appears next to the operation type-dropdownbox.

Image Removed
The options add, subtract, multiply, divide or replace are self-explaining. They add, subtract, multiply, divide or replace the timeseries with the specified value over the specified period of time.

The option missing replaces the values in the time series with missing values over the specified period of time, the ignore time series sets the value over the specified period of time to unreliable.

The last option time series is the default option which will be selected after the initial creation of this modifier and this option allows the forecaster to freely edit the timeseries.

An example of the use of the time series modifier is the RRICHNG modifier.

mergeUncommittedModifiers

If this option is enabled uncommitted modifiers will be merged into one modifier. This option is limited to modifiers which only modify a single time series

referenceTimeSeries

This option can be used to define a filter for reference time series. The available time series for the selected node in the topology will be filtered by using the defined filter. 

Only the reference time series which belong to the same parameter group as the modifiers which are being editted in the display will be displayed.

In addition only the reference time series which have the same location(s) as the time series which are being modified will be shown. 

defaultValidTime

Forecast time after which the modifier is no longer valid. If omitted, this value will be default to the year 3000 and the valid time entry box will not be shown in the modifier display.

It is possible to create a timeseries modifier in the plot displays. This can be done by selecting a timeseries by selecting a legend. After selection the timeseries can be modified by graphically editing the timeseries or by changing values in the graph. This feature can
be disabled by setting this option to false.

createContinousModifiers
If a modifier is created in the graph by default one modifier will be created. However when the option createContinousModifiers is disabled one modifier will be created for every continuous range of modifications made. For example if the forecaster changes a 6 hours timeseries at 00z and at 12z but not a 0600z than by default this will result in creating a single modifier, but when this option is disabled two modifiers will be created. One for each continuous range of changes. In this case there is a change at 00z and one at 12z therefore two modifiers will be created.

The regular modifier type configuration elements such as <expiryTime> and <userDefinedDescription> field are available. The configuration elements specific for this modifier are explained below.

timeSeries

The <timeSeries> elements are time series filters used to configure to which time series the spatial profile modifier can be applied. In the given example, any time series with module instance id "Import_NWP_Mediumrange" and qualifier id "BE" or "RWC" can be modified with a spatial profile modifier. If such a time series is shown in the spatial display, the spatial modifier mode button and the spatial profile button used to create spatial profile modifiers will be available. The configured time series should always be a grid time series. Configuring a spatial copy modifier for a time series with a different type will have no effect.

descriptiveFunctionGroups

This is an optional element to configure the statistics shown in the statistics panel. When this element is not configured, the statistics panel (and button) will be hidden in the spatial profile modifier editor. More information on the available descriptiveFunctions can be found in Configuration Guide > System Configuration > Time Series Display Configuration.

"Apply to"  option

Via "Apply To" button it is possible to apply a  single  modifier to an entire forecast group or range of basins . In case of time series modifiers  an option  “create unique modifiers for each time series” can also be used.

This option makes possible to create a modifier  as an unique independent  modifier for each of the selected segments.  The  option is useful  when many segments  need the same type of modifier but the  forecaster needs to make adjustments to a subset of the initial group modifier.

 Applying modifiers in a whatif

By default, modifiers are always applied in the workflow. With the introduction of the new WhatIf Templates/WhatIf Editor functionality in 2021.01, one can configure the system to allow modifiers only to be applied in a whatif.

This behavior is specified in element <whatIfModifierType> available in each modifierType, which offers three options:

• apply modifier if referenced in a whatif workflow
• always apply in workflow (default)
• never apply in a whatif workflow (i.e. always apply unless running a workflow with a whatif attached)

The <timeSeries> elements are time series filters used to configure to which time series the spatial profile modifier can be applied. In the given example, any time series with module instance id "Import_NWP_Mediumrange" and qualifier id "BE" or "RWC" can be modified with a spatial profile modifier. If such a time series is shown in the spatial display, the spatial modifier mode button and the spatial profile button used to create spatial profile modifiers will be available.

When this element is not configured, the statistics panel (and button) will be hidden in the spatial profile modifier editor. More information on the available descriptiveFunctions can be found in Configuration Guide > System Configuration > Time Series Display Configuration.

"Apply to"  option

Via "Apply To" button it is possible to apply a single modifier to an entire set of IFD-segments . In case of time series modifiers  and  reverseOrderModifiers an option  “create unique modifiers for each segment” can also be used.

This option is only available when creating a new modifier  and makes possible to create a modifier as an unique independent modifier for each of the selected segments.  The  option is useful  when many segments  need the same type of modifier but the  forecaster needs to make adjustments to a subset of the initial group modifier.

Copy time series modifiers

It is possible to copy time series modifiers to another set of modifiers with a different set of module instance descriptors.

This option is available after selecting one or more time series modifiers in the modifiers panels in the menu which appears after a right mouse click.

This option is by default not available. To enable this feature the copyModifiers section needs to configured.

The configured pattern is the pattern which is actually used when copying modifiers. The pattern description is a pretty name which only used for display purposes in the "Copy modifiers dialog"

After selecting one or more time series modifiers which comply to one of the patterns defined in the copyModifiers section the option "Copy the selected time series modifiers to another module instance id" will appear in the menu.

After selecting the option a panel (see below) in which the user can select a pattern will appear.

The user can select a new pattern (only one) from the list. After pressing the OK button the selected time series modifiers will be copied to a new module instance id.

The new module instance id will be determined by replacing the pattern from the existing module instance id with the new selected pattern.

For example if the original module instance id is original_MAP and we have configured two patterns original and copy and we select the pattern copy from the list the new module instance id will be copy_MAP.

All the other characteristics of the time series modifiers will be kept the same. The new copied modifier will only differ in module instance idModifiers which can be referenced in a whatif workflow need to be listed in the whatifTemplates.
