Both HEC-DSS files and CWMS database files use pathnames. Depending on which type is opened, the respective filters will display in the CWMS-Vue main window.

Viewing HEC-DSS Pathnames

You can change the display of HEC-DSS pathnames in the Pathname Table from the View menu. The available commands are:

  • Pathname List - displays pathnames in one column (Parts separated by slashes)
  • Pathname Parts - displays pathnames with separate columns for each Part
  • Condensed Catalog - same as Pathname Parts, but shows full range of data in the Part D column
  • No Pathnames - displays no data

Sorting HEC-DSS Pathnames by Parts

Another way to change the display of the HEC-DSS pathnames is through sorting by pathname parts using the option Search by parts (under the View menu). Choose the appropriate option from the dropdown list(s) to sort your data. In the example below, the data is sorted by the C Part of STAGE and the F Part of OBS.
