IntroductionThe DELFTDelft-FEWS configuration guide provides the advanced user of DELFTDelft-FEWS with the information required to set-up and maintain a configuration of DELFTDelft-FEWS. The objective of the guide is to be used both as a reference manual during the development and maintenance of an implementation of DELFTDelft-FEWS, as well as to provide some of the background philosophy on how to go about setting up a forecasting system. It is expected that the reader of this guide has a basic understanding of DELFTDelft-FEWS and its structure. If not, the "tips & tricks page for new configurators" might be useful to visit first. To To understand how to configure DELFTDelft-FEWS, a good understanding of the structure of the configuration is required. The first part of this guide therefore gives an introduction into the different parts of configuration. In the second part of the guide (three) the concepts used in DELFT-FEWS for handling data are explained.The third part of the guide is dedicated at the different configurations in DELFT-FEWS. Chapter 6 provides an overview of the available modules in DELFT-FEWS and how each of these can be configured to provide the required functionality. Chapter 7 explains how configured modules are linked , see the following table: section | description | Topics |

01 Structure of a Delft-FEWS Configuration | Introduction to different parts of the Delft-FEWS configuration. | Elements of the configuration, naming conventions, XML Schemas and schema validation. | 02 Data Handling in Delft-FEWS | Concepts used for handling data in Delft-FEWS. | Types of Time Series, Time Series Sets, Manual data edits | 03 System Configuration | Configuration of system components. | E.g. Display settings, FewsExplorer, Logging, Permissions, Color schemes | 04 Regional Configuration | Various regional configuration components which relate to a specific regional FEWS systems (e.g. monitoring locations). | E.g. Locations, LocationSets, ModuleInstances, WorkflowDescriptors, Branches, Parameters, Grids, Filters, TimeSteps, Qualifiers, Polygons, Topologies, Thresholds, Historical Events. | 05 Module Configuration | Configuration of available Modules, e.g. 'module instances' | E.g. interpolation of data or how to configure an external model such as ISIS (using the General Adapter Module) including how these can be configured to achieve the required functionality. | 06 Workflow Configuration | Concepts for linking configured modules into logical tasks through configuration of workflows. |
In chapter 8 the configuration is discussed. Chapter 9 discusses mapping Chapter 10 discusses handling In chapter 11 some elements of configuring DELFT are discussedIn the fourth section a given on how to set-up a forecasting system. |
This is to give some idea on how to approach configuring a complex system such as DELFT-FEWS. | Approaches for more advanced setup possibilities. | 12 Configuration management Tool | A brief guide in the use of the configuration management module to support configuration |
is given in chapter 13. Chapter 14, finally, gives some tips and tricks on configuring DELFT-FEWS. Throughout the text, relevant details to be taken into account in configuration is given in text boxes.
