DemandWatch forecasting is now available
Demand forecasting can now be achieved within InfoWorks WS Pro using a DemandWatch configuration. The primary use of DemandWatch is to automate forecasts of demand for IWLive Pro.
The following features now support integration with DemandWatch into InfoWorks WS Pro:
- Data Transfer from DemandWatch Databases: The DemandWatch databases can be accessed as guest databases using the File > Open menu. This facilitates the transfer of data into WS Pro databases.
- Direct integration with Baselines: DemandWatch configurations can be dragged directly into Baseline objects for automating IWLive forecasts.
- Direct integration with Live Data Configuration: DemandWatch forecast feeds can be directly assigned as Live Data Points in Live Data Configuration objects. This enables forecast data to be associated with objects and used throughout InfoWorks WS Pro.

Dominant Source Trace tolerance
Water Quality runs using source trace analysis now allow a modifiable tolerance setting for determining the dominant source. Previously, a default value of 5% was used, meaning the source traces must sum to between 95% to 105% for a dominant source to be identified. Increasing the tolerance will result in increased reporting of a dominant source throughout the network.
Results Export to Binary Files
A new result export option enables sharing of results in a binary DAT format for efficient transfer of full results with 3rd party systems.
Desktop analytics
When you select the Desktop analytics option from the Help menu in 64-bit versions of the software, a new Privacy Settings dialog is now displayed. For 32-bit versions of the software, the existing Data Collection and Use dialog is still used. These dialogs let you choose how we can analyse your usage of our software. By opting in, you help us improve the features, usability, performance and quality of our products.
