To specify the how the current value of inflow is determined from the inflow time series, follow the instructions below. Note: if you skip this step, the default of Previous Value will be used.
Click the Inflow Time Series Options button. This editor defines how the reservoir inflow time series is interpreted when used in making induced surcharge operation release decisions. The editor and its options will vary depending on your Induced Surcharge computation method:

The Function list and the associated parameters of Offset and Period are described in the Independent Variable Editor's Time Series Options section in "Commonly Used Editors and Dialogs".
If you are using the ESRD Curves, "Figure: Inflow Time Series Options - External Variable" shows the more complex editor that will open. The more complex editor allows you to specify any external times series or model variable as the Inflow to be used by the rule—rather than the default, computed inflow.

Variable for ESRD Lookup—
Inflow—To use the default, computed inflow and the standard Inflow Time Series Options, select the first radio button, Inflow. The associated Time Series Options will be specified above the radio buttons.
User Selected — To specify an external variable or model variable as the "inflow" for the ESRD lookup, select the second radio button, User Selected. The lower portion of the editor will be enabled; use it to select the variable you want to use as "inflow" and its associated Time Series Options.
When you have finished specifying all the required attributes for your Induced Surcharge rule, press Apply to save your settings. Then, be sure the rule is added to and correctly positioned at the top of the rule stack in each zone where the rule should apply.
