Developing Time Series Icons

You develop time series icons in the Map Window of the Setup module. Time series icons are used in the other modules to access data and information. The information can be time series data, images, web pages, webcams, scripts, and document files. You can link time series icons to data from either the CWMS database or from a HEC-DSS file. Time series icons provide you access to incoming data and location specific information.

You can represent time series icons as symbols, thumbnail plots, or color-coded data quality bars. You should create the time series icons early in the watershed model development so data can be readily viewed. Occasionally, you may need to make changes to the time series icons to accommodate additional data development. Refer to Time Series Icons and Time Series Icons Layers for additional information.
