Time series icons are displayed in the Map Window of the HEC-RTS main window and indicate sites for which data and information are available. The information can be time series data, images, websites/webpages, webcams, scripts, spreadsheets, or other files. Time series data for the icons can be linked to data from DSS files. Time series data can appear as thumbnail plots or color bars. The icons provide easy access for analyzing data and providing location-specific information (e.g., frequently updated pictures of gages, reports on the location).

In the Setup module, you will use the Time Series Icon Tool to create and manipulate time series icons. Map Window provides a description of the Time Series Icon Tool.
