Output Relate Dialog Box

To create a new Output Relate, from the Operation tab of the InfoWater Browser, select the Output Relate folder and right-mouse click and select the New command. This will initiate the Output Relate dialog box, as shown below. For a detailed explanation on the Output Relate methodology and its applicability in InfoWater, continue to read the online help.

Output Relate

DB Query Toolbar - See Dialog Options Toolbar for details.

Query ID & Description - The query ID and description is displayed here.

1. • Tip 1: In InfoWater an element ID is up to 32 characters long, no spaces and some symbols are restricted such as #, % etc. (dash "-" and underscore "_" characters are OK)

   • Tip 2: Description is up to 60 characters with spaces and symbol characters.

Automatic Update  - When this option is ON (checked), the relate table will be automatically updated every time you run a simulation when the relate’s Target Scenario and Target Simulation are active.

For example, you define a relate based on the BASE Standard (hydraulic and water quality) simulation and then set this option to ON. The next time you load the BASE scenario and run a Standard simulation the contents of the relate table are automatically updated with the most recent simulation results.

If this option is OFF, the relate table contains simulation result data from when the relate was created or at the time you last updated the relate contents by choosing one of the buttons at the bottom of this dialog box.  If you re-run the simulation (BASE Standard in the example above), the results from the previous run remain in the relate table.

Source Output Data:

Target Scenario - Select from either the currently active scenario or any pre-defined scenario in the pull down list. Select the scenario upon which the output relate is based.  Data from the selected Target Simulation for the selected Target Scenario will be written to the output relate table.

You may choose from among the active (currently loaded) or any other custom-developed (output source) scenarios as shown below.

Note - If you have not developed any custom scenarios with the InfoWater scenario management feature, the only available scenario will be *ACTIVE* scenario representing BASE conditions.

Target Simulation - Select the simulation type. Select the simulation type (standard, fireflow, SCADA) upon which the output relate is based.  Data from the selected Target Simulation for the selected Target Scenario will be written to the output relate table.

Desired Output Report - Select the desired output report.

Desired Report Page and Time - Select the report page and timestep. 

Update Current Relate Now - Updates the contents of the output relate table with simulation results from the most recent run of the associated Target Simulation Type for the associated Target Scenario.  Simulation results are written for the associated Report Page or Report Time step.

Update All - Updates the contents of all currently defined output relate tables with simulation results from the most recent run of each output relates’ associated Target Simulation Type for each associated Target Scenario. Simulation results are written for the associated Report Page or Report Timestep.
