This section describes how to load time series data into Source and how to manually enter data in to tables. Additional sub-sections include:

- New Data Source creates a new data source, using either the output of a scenario (Scenario Data Source...) or a time-series file (File Data Source...);
- New Folder creates a new folder, allowing organisation of data sources;
- Expand All expands the file hierarchy;
- Collapse All collapses the file hierarchy;
- Data Sources Overview opens the Data Sources Overview window, displaying metadata for all file and scenario data sources in the active scenario (Figure 3). This is particularly useful for checking the start and end dates of your data. For example, in Figure 3, WheatDemand_csv has an end date a decade before all other data sources;
- Reload all time series with 'Reload on Run' reloads all time series when Reload on Run is also selected from within the Load Data Source dialog (Figures 4 and 5); and
- Sets if a failed "'Reload on run" Run will stop the current run works in conjunction with Reload on runRun to determine if source data will cause a scenario run failure. It is shown toggled on in Figures 2 and 3.

The Load File Data Source dialog opens (Figure 45). Then, follow these steps:

Once you assign a time series to a node or link, the associated component is shown underneath that time series (Figure 2). To disconnect a time series from a component, open the required feature editor. In the Data Source option, click on the data source that contains the associated time series. The time series will be removed from the node. This can be confirmed by checking the Data Sources Explorer.

This opens the Load Scenario Data Source dialog (Figure 56). Then:
- Click on the ellipsis (…) button on the first column of the Data table, which opens the Results dialog (Figure 67).
- This dialog lists the most recent results for each scenario that you have run in your project. Choose the result that you wish to use as input data to your current scenario. In Figure 67, this data is Upstream Scenario Confluence 1's Downstream Flow;
- Click OK to close the Results dialog.
- If required, enable the Reload on Run checkbox (see below).
- The units are set automatically from the result chosen.
- Just as with time series, you can select the scenario input set(s) associated with this data source.
- To load another scenario data source, repeat this process.

You can edit a data source after it has been imported to modify the options you selected during loading, eg. the associated scenario input set(s). In the Data Sources Explorer, right-click on the data source you wish to change, and choose Edit from the contextual menu, and the appropriate Load Data Source dialog (Figures 45, 56) will re-open.

Note: If the Sets if a failed "Reload on run" will stop the current run button in the Data Sources toolbar is enabled (it is shown enabled in Figure 3), and the data source cannot be found, the scenario run will fail. However, if this icon is toggled off, Source will continue to use the data in its internal store, regardless of whether the source file can be found or the source scenario has been run yet. |

Scenario input sets allow you to easily switch between groups of input data and parameters that represent different conditions, such as normal, wet and dry (see Scenario Input Sets for more information). Data sources are assigned to specific scenario input set(s) using the Load Data Source dialogs (Figures 45, 56).
Each scenario has a Default Input Set created automatically when you create the scenario, and by default all loaded data sources will be assigned to this root-level scenario input set. To create another root-level scenario input set, see Adding Scenario Input Sets. It is also possible to create a child scenario input set, which inherits all parameters and data sources specified in its parent. However, data sources can only be assigned to root-level scenario input sets.
...
- Open the Load file data source dialog (Figure 45) either by creating a new data source or editing an existing one (see Loading a file data source for more information).
- The first time series data file you load is associated with all scenario input sets that exist when it is loaded.
- For each additional time series data file you want to add to the data source:
- Create a new tab by clicking the Add New Tab button. By default new tabs are not associated with any scenario input sets.
Load the time series data file (see Loading a file data source for more information)
Info icon false Note: Each time series data file must contain the same number of time series columns as the other files in that data source, in the same order.
- Choose the scenario input set(s) to associate with each time series data file by selecting the tab's drop-down menu and toggling the check box next to the appropriate scenario input set(s). The associated scenario input sets are listed in the tab's heading. For example, in Figure 45, Flows.csv is associated with Default Input Set and Dry Weather. Source will warn you if you assign more than one time series data file to the same scenario input set.
- The check box next to the tab name determines which time series data file Source will use to name the time series columns; only one of the tabs can be toggled on. If none of the check boxes are selected, the column names from the file in the first tab will be used.
The default name of the data source will be the file name in the first tab. Both the data source and the time series columns can be renamed in the Data Source Explorer (see above).

Once data is generated using the Climate data import tool, it can be used as a data source in the Data Sources Explorer, as shown in Figure 78.
