There are two methods for defining states: 1) Define by name and year and 2) Define by scripting with time series. Selection of method is controlled by the radio buttons located to the left of the method titles (Figure 7). Only one method may be active; however information entered by the user for either option is stored to allow users to test or alternate between methods. The Define/Edit States editor is accessed via the "Project – Define/Edit States…" menu selection.
Figure 7. Interface for "Define/Edit States".
As settings are entered for defining states, that information can be applied to the Project by clicking the Apply button or the OK button, which applies the changes and closes the editor.
The demonstration project included as part of the HEC-RPT installation package contains information for both methods of defining state.
