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 This recorder indicates when ordering for the action is turned on. It includes the rise and fall phase. In this case ‘ordering’ means the node is actively managing the delivery of the action, it not necessarily means any orders are made. For example, the amount of water required may be zero (due to downstream orders or minimum constraints), then the ‘ordering’ for the action is still on, only the amount ordered is zero. This can be used in environmental flow manager functions to determine if an action is currently ordering, and is often used in the function to estimate cost of an action to allow for cost to reduce as the action progresses.
