Current Season Cost Estimate[IT16] : The estimate of the remaining cost of this action. The estimate includes all remaining spells (including rise and fall) and the remaining of any spells currently active.
...
Number of Spells Completed in season: Number of spells this season that are finished in a season [IT17]. A spell is considered complete either if it begins the fall phase or the spell has failed to meet it's success criteria and stopping failed actions is enabled. Counter The counter is reset at the end of the action's season.
Number of Spells Started in Season: Number of spells in a season that have has had their start threshold flow value exceeded. This includes ordered spells and natural spells as well as successful and unsuccessful spells. Counter The counter is reset at the end of the action's season.
Number of Successful Spells Completed in Season: Number of spells this season that are successful in a season [IT18]. A season is deemed successful if the delivered volume meets the requirements specified by the action's success criteria. This includes both ordered and natural spells. Counter The counter is reset at the end of the action's season.
...
Residual Requirement: This recorder is only non-zero when the environmental flow node is used with a flow manager. The residual requirement is the amount this action will have to try to order. The full requirement is reduced based on downstream orders, minimum upstream constraints and other actions at this node that are a higher priority. This value is not restricted by account balances. [IT19]
Spell Extension: Recorder flags days when spell was extended
Successful time steps in current spell[IT20] : During a spell, this counter keeps track of the number of time steps that had a flow rate within the specified proportion of target flow required to mark success. This recorder is reset at the end of the spell For example , if the target flow is 10,000 ML/d and an 80% proportion was specified as required for success (see success criteria), then all days with flow >= 8,000ML/d are counted as successful days.
Time in current spell: This is a time step recorder, counting the number of time steps the spell has been underway. This is used in combination with the ‘Successful time steps in current spell’ to determine success against the duration criterion.
...
Timesteps Spell is Actively Ordering: The number of timesteps a spell will attempt to place orders. This gets reset after the spells fall phase. This is used in environmental flow manager functions to determine if an action is currently ordering.
Volume Ordered[IT21] : This This is the volume of the order that was actually put into the system. The difference between Volume Ordered and Residual Requirement is that Volume Ordered is constrained by account balance, while Residual Requirement is not. The sum of all action's Volume Ordered recorders is the amount that node has ordered that time step.

Environmental Flow Manager
Manager Priority: A recorder that contains a snapshot of the priorisation process every timestep. It contains the groups priority, estimate cost, total portfolio balance as it was when that group was prioritised. This means that a groups priority in this recorder and the estimate cost recorder may give different values since the estimate cost recorder contains the value at the end of the priorisation process. The table also includes portfolio balances before and after prioritisation.
Flow Manager [IT24] – Manager – Portfolios - Portfolio Name:
Account Balance After Prioritisation: The balance of the portfolio after each group has been prioritised. This will have the account balance at the end of the resource assessment phase minus the estimate estimated cost of each enabled group (these costs are distributed as specified in the group's portfolio priority/share properties). This value includes any adjustment values.
...
Total Balance Adjustment: The sum of all account balance adjustments.
Flow Manager [IT24] – Manager – Groups – Group Name:
Estimated Cost: The sum of each actions estimated cost. This is the value at the end of prioritisation phase (since this can point at functions that can evaluate multiple times in the priorisation process).
Priority: The priority of the group with the minimum value. If there are no enabled groups - it will return zero.
Flow Manager [IT24] – Manager – Groups – Group Name – Actions:
...
Priority: Recorder showing the priority of the action[IT25] .
Cost: Cost of the action[IT26] as action as calculated by the cost function
Priority: Priority of the group of actions
Importance: Value returned by user configured importance function. If not configured the value will be zero
Group Condition: [IT27]
...
Returns the worst condition value of all the actions within the group.
Resource Assessment
Resource Assessment was already existing in Source and is not specific to the Environmental Flow Functionality. The only difference in reporting is that Portfolios are listed under account hosts. Resource assessment recorders are reported per account, aggregated per account type, and aggregated per account host and aggregated for the whole system. [IT29]
