Opens the Edit Scenario Configuration – Name Functional Units dialog where you can inspect the list of existing functional units. You can also use this dialog to add new functional units or delete functional units that are no longer required. This dialog is equivalent to step 4 of the Geographic Wizard and is only available when a catchments scenario is active.
...
Opens the Constituent Model Configuration dialog where you can assign and manage the constituent generation, filter, instream processing and storage processing models for all constituents in the scenario. See Constituents - Constituent model configuration.
Opens the Rainfall Runoff Model Configuration dialog where you can assign and work with rainfall runoff models. This dialog is only available when a catchments scenario is active. See Rainfall runoff models.
Opens the Demand Constraints dialog where you can view all configured demand constraints. See Water user node - Demand constraints.
Opens the Feature Table dialog where you view parameters for each of the configured nodes in the scenario. See Feature Table.
