6. ValidationStatus
• Configurable Validation Process (new)
• ValidationSteps, a configurable sequence of different aspects
• (existing) Primary Validation methods
• (existing) Secondary Validation methods
• Visual Inspection (new)
• Workflow can have finished ValidationSteps as condition to run
• ValidationSteps visible as ‘columns’ in TSD
• Progress (where did I left of?) of validation is visible in GUI

7. Configuration…
• Use of location constraints to filter locationSet in General Adapter
• Run a workflow for complete locationSet using ‘looping’ principle
<activity>
<runIndependent>true</runIndependent>
<moduleInstanceId>ModuleInstanceId</moduleInstanceId>
<loopLocationSetId>LocationSetId</loopLocationSetId>
</activity>

8. Configuration…
Loop in DisplayGroups to generate similar sets of graphs easily

9. Configuration…
• Configuration Template ‘tokens’ (key-value) pairs to replace e.g.
moduleInstanceId, locationId, parameterId, timestepId
<timeSeriesSet>
<moduleInstanceId>import</moduleInstanceId>
<valueType>scalar</valueType>
<parameterId>H.obs</parameterId>
<locationId>H-2001</locationId>
<timeSeriesType>$TIME_SERIES_TYPE$</timeSeriesType>
<timeStep unit="day"/>
<relativeViewPeriod unit="day" start="$START_DAYS$" end="1"/>
<readWriteMode>read only</readWriteMode>
</timeSeriesSet>
