- An auto-complete functionality, press Ctrl + space to get a list of available elements;
- Typing additional characters filters the auto-completion list. Items can also be selected by pressing the down arrow key ('↓');
- Once the correct element is selected, pressing Tab or Return auto-fills an element from the list;
- Pressing the period character ('.') displays a list of valid elements for the next step in the path;
- For a valid path, pressing the equals character ('=') displays candidate values;
- Click the Insert units icon for a list of available units. Note that these are not scenario-dependent so you must choose the correct item; and
- An invalid parameter is identified with a red underline (illustrated in Figure 2 for the Loss 3 node, which was deleted after the parameter was created). Acceptable parameter types are provided in Table 1.

Note: Clicking the Apply values to scenario immediately icon will override any other values specified for the same parameter elsewhere in Source for all scenario runs. If disabled, the values take precedence for a single scenario run only, and the entered value from the scenario input sets will not change the default value (such as edited from the user interface) after run. Also, an error appears if there is a problem with one of the parameter specifications. |

Nodes.Wheat Fields.Inactive Demand Models.Irrigator #0.Crops.Wheat Crop.Planting Decision.Plant Date.Use Expression=False
Nodes.Wheat Fields.Inactive Demand Models.Irrigator #0.Crops.Wheat Crop.Planting Decision.Plant Date.Day=20
Nodes.Wheat Fields.Inactive Demand Models.Irrigator #0.Crops.Wheat Crop.Planting Decision.Plant Date.Month=12
You can also use scenario input sets to change the active demand model at a water user node, for example:
Nodes.Water User 3.Demand Model=MyInactiveDemandModel
If you wish to change some parameters in an inactive demand model, and also make it the active model, then you need to specify the parameter changes first. An example is shown in Figure 2 for the inactive demand model Irrigator #0.

The built-in variable $ActiveInputSet allows you to use the active scenario input set as a variable in a function, for example if($ActiveInputSet = "Wet", 15, 10). The active scenario input set is selected through the Configure dialog (Figure 1). When working with a scenario that contains parent and children scenario input sets (eg, Figure 8), the following conventions apply:
...
- To identify a specific scenario input set, use its full path, eg. "Parent1.Child1", or "Parent2", or "Parent2.Child1.Grandchild.GreatGrandchild".
- To identify any children of a specific scenario input set, use its full path followed by a full stop, eg. "Parent1.Child1." will be true for Parent1.Child1.Grandchild1 and Parent1.Child1.Grandchild2.
- To identify a child scenario input set, regardless of its parents, use its name preceded by a full stop. For example ".Child1" will be true for Parent1.Child1 and Parent2.Child1
- The previous two conventions can be combined to identify any children of a child input set, regardless of its parents. For example, ".Grandchild1." will be true for Parent2.Child1.Grandchild1.GreatGrandchild.
- If you want to identify a specific scenario input set and any of its children, use an or function combined with an if function. For example if($ActiveInputSet=".Grandchild1" or $ActiveInputSet = ".Grandchild1.", 5, 1) will be true for Parent1.Child1.Grandchild1, Parent2.Child1.Grandchild1 and Parent2.Child1.Grandchild1.GreatGrandchild.
