From the CWMS CAVI main window, click the Acquisition tab. Under the Reports menu, choose Data Status Summary. The Data Status Summary dialog will open. If a data status list has been displayed before, the Data Status Summary dialog displays the previously viewed data status list. If a data status list has not been displayed before, no datasets will be displayed in the dialog.

Data Status Summary Dialog

The Data Status Summary dialog displays quality color bars and additional summary information for a group of time series gages within data status lists that you create. The data status lists allow you to organize lists of gages specific to your needs. For example, you might create data status lists that show all of your precipitation gages, all of your stream gages, or a mix of precipitation and stream gages needed to generate a specific forecast. A data status list can contain datasets from CWMS and HEC-DSS databases.

From the Data Status Summary dialog, you can:

  • create data status lists
  • select a predefined data status list
  • copy a data status list
  • review the quality color bars
  • review how many values are missing for a particular time series dataset
  • locate the time and date of the last valid data value for a particular time series dataset
