The Results Manager allows you to examine and analyse scenario results in MUSIC X. Results can be evaluated graphically in charts, numerically in tables or as statistics, and they can also be filtered and manipulated using transforms. With custom charts, you can also view and statistically analyse multiple results within and between runs, compare results to external data sources and automatically update with the latest results each time a model is run.

| Time series | Data that has been measured at a regular time interval (eg. observed daily flow). |
| Custom chart | A custom chart is a user-created collection of two or more time series results that allows comparison between those results graphically in charts, numerically in tables or by comparative statistics. |
| Transforms | Transforms allow you to modify (or transform) the view of the data. Once generated, they can be used as a template for another action, such as applying to custom charts. |

Each scenario run is issued a unique ID. When export results from a scenario run, the exported .res.csv files also includes this ID. The metadata associated with this run ID is available in results manager (See Figure 2 below). The metadata can be saved by supported file types.
Toolbar
The Results Manager toolbar (Figure below) is located near the top of the Results Manager window and includes load, save, search and transform options.

Stand-alone mode
Results Manager can be run independently of MUSICX, allowing you to analyse previously saved MUSICX results or time series from other programs without opening MUSICX. You can launch Results Manger in stand-alone mode from your Windows Start menu, the standard location is:
Start » All Apps » eWater MUSICX n.n.n.n » Results Manager n.n.n.n
The only difference between stand-alone mode and running Results Manager within Source is a Configuration Options button in the Results Manager toolbar as shown on the Figure below. This opens a Configuration dialog that allows you to configure the following options:
- Enable Rounding – Determines whether the values in the Table and Statistics views are rounded to the number of places entered in Visible Decimal Places.
- Short Table Headers – Toggles on or off the display of long or short names of results in the Table view. Can also be enabled on the Table view tab.
- Water Year Start – Allows you to set the default water year start date, which affects the calculation of statistics in the Statistics view.
