Item Description
Toolbar

request run

Request projection run

Opens the Request Projection dialog, for requesting a projection run and running it on the IWLive Pro Operator Client Operator PC.

Update from live data

Update from live data

Bring the current run up to date with the latest live data. Only available when the currently selected run is an incident or response run.

Live data latency defined in the baseline will be applied, e.g. if the latency is 30 minutes and the current time is 15:30, the live data for 15:00 will be obtained, and the start time for the incident run will be set to 15:00.

If response runs have been created based on the currently selected incident run, the option to 'Update all child runs' will be displayed.

Update from parent

Update from parent

Update fields in a response run from the parent incident run.

Fields in the response run that have been specifically modified by the user will not be altered.

Validate run

Validate run

Validate the currently selected run.

If validation errors and warnings are found, these will be reported in a Run Validation window.

Tip: Clicking the Simulate button will also result in the run being validated.

Simulate

Simulate

Validate then carry out the simulation for the currently selected run. The Run Validation window will be displayed. If validation errors are found, these must be resolved before the run can be simulated.

If response runs have been created based on a currently selected incident run, the option to 'Simulate all child runs' will be displayed.

Cancel

Cancel run

Cancel the run.

Create child run

Create child run

Create an incident run based on the currently projection run, or create a response run based on the currently selected incident run.

Verify run

Verify run

Verify the run.

Simulation results will be compared against metered data (where links between model data and live data are set up in the Verification page of the Baseline Object).

The verification status of the run will be set according to the option selected in the baseline schedule (see Default Model window) and in the corresponding warning template (set in InfoWorks WS Pro).

This option is only available in the Administrator mode.

Mark for deletion Set the status of all currently selected runs to Marked for deletion.

This option is only available in the Administrator mode.

Sort by Lets you change the sort order of the entries in the run manager tree. The sort order can be based on name, status, (creation) date, or last run date.
Show Lets you display or hide the optional columns in the run manager tree. The optional columns are Status, Creation date, and Last run date.
Tree

The run manager tree shows all runs for the baseline.

Expand list / Collapse list

Expand/Collapse

Shows or hides the subsidiary incident or response runs (if any).
Run type (symbol) projection run Projection run, either requested or scheduled from IWLive Server.

incident run (successful) Incident run.

response run (successful) Response run.

Notes:

  • The run with a black box around its type symbol (for example loaded run) is the run for which the geoplan and results are currently being shown.
  • Projection run will not load automatically when you have an Incident run or Response run open. To load, click the Projection run.
Results status (symbol colour)

run symbols (no results) Grey symbols indicate that there are no results for a run.

run symbols (partial results) Yellow symbols indicate that there are partial results for a run.

run symbols (successful) Green symbols indicate that a run was successful.

run symbols (failure) Red symbols indicate that a run failed.

Status

Pending - simulation has not yet been run but has been queued.

Active - simulation is currently running.

Completed - simulation has been run and results are available.

Failed - simulation has failed.

Out of Date - simulation is out of date because an initial value has been modified in the Properties window.

Creation date The date the run was created.
Last run date The date the run was last run.
Manual load

If ticked, allows manual loading using the Load button.

Tips:

  • To load the geoplan and results for one run at a time, untick the Manual load box. The geoplan and results will now be shown for the particular run that you select in the run manager tree, indicated by a black box around its icon loaded run. In this mode, every time you select a run in the tree, its geoplan and results will be loaded (and the geoplan and results from any previous selection will be cleared).
  • To load the geoplan and results for one run while working on other runs at the same time, first tick the Manual load box. Now, when you select a run in the run manager tree, you must click the Load button to show the geoplan and results for that run. A black box indicates which run is loaded loaded run. With one run loaded, you can now select another run in the tree and carry out tasks on it. The run selected in this way is shown with its name in a blue box current run. For this run, you can use the toolbar buttons, context menu commands, and the grid.
Load Available when a run is selected and the Manual load box is ticked.
Find run

Scrolls the run manager tree to the run whose GeoPlan and results are currently displayed.

Available when a run is selected and the Manual load box is ticked.

Empty bin Click the Empty bin button to delete all runs with Status set to Marked for deletion for the current baseline.

This option is only available in the Administrator mode.
