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 |
