General Settings

General settings contain the overall configuration of MIKE OPERATIONS.

Create Configuration

Click the New button to create a new configuration.

Specify a name. The new configuration can be created as a copy of an existing configuration. Select the configuration to copy in the Copy from drop down.

"Real time configurations" spreadsheet

When a configuration has been created and saved, the configuration is added to the list of real-time configurations in the "Real time configurations" spreadsheet of the spreadsheet manager of MIKE Workbench.

Column	Description
Active	Yes if the configuration is active. No if the configuration is not active, hence not displayed in the Configurations drop down in MIKE OPERATIONS.
Configuration Name	The name of the configuration.
Users	Comma separated list of users (MO login user) allowed to select the configuration. If no users are specified, all users can see the configuration. The admin user can always see all configurations.
Show On Web	Value indicating whether the configuration is available on MIKE OPERATIONS Web.
Index	Index in the configurations dropdown.

General

• Description
  An optional description of the configuration.
  
• Model Setup
  Path to the model setup in the Scenario Manager of MIKE Workbench.
  MIKE OPERATIONS is model independent, so any type of model can be specified here.
  (for display of observations only without a model included, the Model Setup text box is empty).
  
• Forecast Scenario
  Forecast Scenario is the scenario of the model setup used in Data & Maps mode.
  The latest simulation of this scenario is used at startup and refreshed when a new simulation is ready.
  

Scenario Mode

• Checkout Scenario Path
  Path on disk where all scenarios created in scenario mode will be placed.
  This path must be specified in order to create scenarios in scenario mode.
  
• Run Scenario Host
  Name of the host to use for running simulations in scenario mode.
  Host is configured in the Job Manager of MIKE Workbench.
  If no host is specified, a localhost is used.
  
• Scenario Templates
  Configure Scenario Templates clicking the Templates button.
  The selected spreadsheet contains the configured scenario templates.
  By default, the spreadsheet is called Scenario Templates and is placed in the folder containing the configuration spreadsheet of the current configuration.
  

Scenario Templates

The scenario templates can be configured from the General Settings page in the backstage view of MIKE OPERATIONS.

Clicking the Templates button displays a form where the Scenario Templates can be configured.

Templates can be created, copied, deleted and moved up or down. The order of the templates in the configuration form determines the order the templates will be displayed when applying the templates, while creating new scenarios.

The scenario configurations will be persisted in a spreadsheet Scenario Templates, placed in the folder of the current configuration in the spreadsheet manager of the MIKE Workbench.

Input time series

Each template defines what input time series should be changed and how to it should be changed. The baseline time series of the specified baseline scenario will be the base of the new time series. This means that if no changes to the time series are made, the new input time series will contain the same time steps and values as the base line time series. If no scenario template is applied, the new scenario will contain a copy of the baseline time series.

The template configuration dialog can be accessed by clicking the Time Series button and will contain a tab page for each active dynamic feature layer in the MIKE OPERATIONS configuration, containing input time series supporting scenario mode.

Input time series are identified by the tab they are added to (Dynamic Feature Type), the name of the station/catchment/reservoir and the name of the time series.

Each input time series has a Model Object Name and a Model Object Variable Name specified in the configuration of the station. Model Object Name and Model Object Variable Name is used for identifying the input time series in the model setup.

Time series can be created, copied, changed and deleted, but not ordered. The rows will automatically be ordered by the name of the station and the name of the time series.

Clicking the New button will bring up a dialog for selecting the station and the time series.

The Name combo box will contain a list of stations/reaches/catchments of the selected feature type (tab).

Time series contains a list of input time series supporting scenario mode on the feature type selected.

The input time series can be changed by clicking the Details button of the time series.

Actions

Each input time series can have a set of actions, defining what to change on the baseline time series.

New will add a new action line in the list view.

Delete will delete the action from the list view.

Copy will copy the action into a new row.

The order of the actions can be changed by clicking Move Up and Move Down.

The order determines the order that the actions will be applied to the scenario input time series.

Each action can be configured clicking the Details button.

This will bring up the action configuration dialog.

The following information can be specified:

Property	Description
Id	The Id of the actions
Name	The name of the action.
Description	The description of the action.
Active	Actions can be deactivated.
Start	Time span from Time Of Forecast from where the action is applied. The time span should define the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
End	Time span from Time Of Forecast where the action is active to. The time span should define the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Action Type	The type of action. Constant: A constant value is applied to all time steps in the period of the action. Factor: A factor is multiplied to all values of the baseline time series in the period of the action. Offset: A constant is added to all values of the baseline time series in the period of the action. Interpolation: Interpolation between start and end time. For interpolation, the End Value must be specified. Script: A script is calculating and updating the input time series. The script must take the following arguments: 1. Scenario Input time series definition
Value	The value to set, add or multiply to the baseline time steps depending on the Action Type.
End Value	The end value on the to time step when using the interpolation action type.
Script	Full path to the script used for setting scenario input time series for Action Type Script. The script should return an list of time steps and take the following arguments: 1. Scenario Input time series See below for a script sample.

The script sample below shows how a script body should look, for a script used in a scenario template action.

Themes

The theme concept is opening up for having different views with a different set of feature types. A feature type can belong to one or more themes.

When selecting a theme in the ribbon, only feature types belonging to the selected theme will be displayed.

Themes are created from the General Settings page in the backstage view.

Themes can be created as main themes, selected in the ribbon, and as child themes specified on an item e.g. a station.

Child themes will be displayed when double clicking an item with a child theme specified as Go to theme. Note that go to child theme will be applied, only if the parent theme of the child theme is currently selected in the ribbon.

None, one or more main themes, or child themes can be specified on an item.

The child themes are displayed depending on the main theme selected on in the ribbon.

This also means that only one child theme per main them should be specified on an item.

The themes dropdown in the ribbon has a back button.

The back button is for getting back to the main theme when a child theme has been selected. The back button will refresh the main theme if a main them is specified.
