expiryTimeDeletedModifiers
The expiryTimeDeletedModifiers is related to the rollingBarrel. When a modifier is deleted by the user (in the GUI) it will not be deleted but only set to invisible, so that it can be restored. However, when the expiryTimeDeletedModifiers has passed, the modifier will be removed from the database and the modifier can no longer be restored. So if the expiry time is 50 years, the modifier remains 50 years in the database, visible or invisible.

Spatial Copy Modifier

Since 2019.02. The spatial copy modifier is used to modify a grid time series. It is a spatial modifier which needs to be created through the spatial display instead of the modifiers panel. The time series is modified by copying part of a different grid time series. The forecaster defines the area and period where they wish to apply the modifier. They select a different grid time series of which they wish to use and copy and paste this time series. In the selected area and at the selected time steps, the values of the modified time series will be changed to the values of the copied time series. 

Display

The spatial copy modifier can only be created through the spatial display.

More information on how this is done is found at User Guide > 05 Spatial Display > Creating Spatial Modifiers.

Only the properties of a spatial copy modifier can be edited through the modifiers panel.

Configuration


Code Block
languagexml
titleExample config of a spatial copy modifier
	<spatialCopyModifier id="SpatialCopy" name="Spatial Copy">
		<timeSeries>
			<moduleInstanceId>Import_NWP_Mediumrange</moduleInstanceId>
			<qualifierId>BE</qualifierId>
		</timeSeries>
		<timeSeries>
			<moduleInstanceId>Import_NWP_Mediumrange</moduleInstanceId>
			<qualifierId>RWC</qualifierId>
		</timeSeries>
	</spatialCopyModifier>

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 copy 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 copy modifier. If such a time series is shown in the spatial display, the spatial modifier mode button and the copy paste buttons used to create spatial copy 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.

Spatial Profile Modifier

Since 2019.02. The spatial profile modifier is used to modify a grid time series. It is a spatial modifier which needs to be created through the spatial display instead of the modifiers panel. The time series is modified by replacing all values in an area of grid cells with the values of a scalar time series called the "spatial profile". The forecaster defines an area and period over which the modifier should be applied. They then specify the scalar time series values used to replace the grid cell values.

Display

The spatial profile modifier can only be created through the spatial display.

More information on how this is done is found at User Guide > 05 Spatial Display > Creating Spatial Modifiers.

Once created, the properties and scalar "spatial profile" time series can be edited through the modifiers panel.
