'Find and Replace Flags' tool on multiple networks.
As a large organisation with multiple users of InfoWorks ICM we have a set up with one masterdatabase and everyone using groups off this in order to keep all users on the same version. The downside is, that as users import previous models more flags get added, which are now obsolete in our current specification leading to hundreds of flags in the masterdatabase. It is not practicable to use the find and replace flags tool on each network individually, if this feature was expanded to be able to use on multiple networks, it would make administering our model flags much…

I would like to be-able to reorder scenarios in the drop down in ICM
II would like to be able to change order of scenarios (after Base). So be able to move up scenarios or down scenarios in the drop down list. I often have to delete scenarios or created amended versions of copied scenarios and this often results in a pretty messed up list of scenarios

Customization of Grid Windows in InfoWorks ICM
Allow custom grid window layouts in InfoWorks ICM, much like the Property window. Allow the user to reorganize the columns, change the column widths, or hide unnecessary columns, and save it as a layout to be applied as a default.

Pruning does not sub reassign drainage links correctly
When pruning, subcatchment drainage manholes are reassigned to the first modeled downstream manhole. However, when pruning subcatchments that drain to single or multiple links, ICM gives incorrect results in some cases and doesn't work at all in other cases, which then causes validation errors after pruning. I submitted this as a bug since it gives incorrect results, but Innovyze asked me to submit is as a "feature request". So please vote for this so it can be fixed and work correctly.

Better functionality for multiruns
- number episodes in episode collection
- sort runs according to number
- greater timesteps for runoff only runs
- resume with next run if a run fails
- easy export of maximum results of runs (without results of the runoff only runs)

RTC range: give the choice to include or exclude the minimum or maximum value
Make it possible to define 'greater than (GT)' or 'greater or equal (GE)' in a range in RTC.

More flexibility for pdm runs
We would like to be able to simulate warmup and hydraulic simulations with different input sources. Now the run crashes if for example rainfall data does not match the saved state of the warmup run. It would also be very useful to make it possible to do the warmup run with a higher calculation time step.

Mesh zone on Mesh Zone
The ability to have a mesh zone on a mesh zone. This would be useful when modelling Attenuation basins in 3D (using ground model / breaklines). It would easily allow to have a coarse mesh for the basin floor to improve the stability of Outfall 2Ds (where small triangles can limit flow to the outfall 2D) but still allow for a finer mesh for basin sides and in your study area.

Sim Slots
There should be an option to select to limit sim slots to be used by a model so other models dont go in waiting when running sims simulataneously .
9 votesHello there,
If my understanding of the request is correct then I believe that this capability does already exist in the agent options. If you are able to start the InfoWorks ICM agent manager, then here it is possible to set a maximum number of concurrent simulations which can be active at any one time.
Thanks,

Removing missing GIS-layers
If a GIS-layer for a model is missing you cannot remove the reference to it because the layer isn't visible in the GIS layer control window. So you keep getting the error message each time you open the model. Why not make missing GIS-layers visible in the GIS layer control window ('greyed out' or with a suffix '(missing)' in the description). Then you can select it and remove it.

Background tasks overall progress visible in ICM
I think waiting for ICM to finish the task without having an idea about when this might be is not productive at all. Tasks like opening a simulation, graph something in the model, running a statistical template should be done accompanied by a loading bar, which will show the overall progress of that task.

Ability to access databases where Workgroup Data Server and databases don't reside on same server
With the large amounts of data generated it would be beneficial if a supported configuration would be to have a WDS installed on a server but pointing at databases (and solves etc) over the network on a remote storage system (such as NAS). This would make the whole solution far more scalable as the need arose.

Have multiple Workgroup Data Servers
I want to be able to segregate databases between different parts of the business so they only have visibility of, and access those specific to them. Having the ability to install multiple WDS on a single server makes sense from a cost/configuration/data segregation perspective but currently this isn't possible.

Allow user to set number format in ICM grid windows
It would be great if a user could set number formats in InfoWorks ICM grid windows. For example, we are calibrating a large diameter pipeline by adjusting Manning's n values. We are using 5 digits after the decimal place, but ICM only shows 4 digits. When I copy from the grid, it only copies 4 digits after the decimal. So I have to use a csv export to see the actual values. Or at least set Manning's n values to 5 digits after the decimal place.

Interpolation of levels
It happens too often that while merging different models, you suddenly need a different timestep for your level-file. The only way to do this now, is remake your level completely. It would be better to (when changing the timestep of your level) ICM would ask what do : automatically interpolate the new in between time steps, put the in between time steps on zero,...

leave Layers and Themes window open
Could you make it possible to work in the Geoplan without having to close the Layers and Themes window? It would make switching Layers on and off much easier. Alternatively you could add a separate window to switch layers on and off.

Allow user default sorting of Master Database, and sorting of Layers and Themes properties
In InfoWorks ICM, allow the user to choose the default sorting of the Master Database and allow sorting of the Layers and Themes in Geoplan Properties and Themes.
I would like to be able to have the master database automatically/default sorted based on something else (description/ID/User/Date).
Would also like to sort the Layers & Themes dialogue, as it seems pretty random (not even alphabetical!) and often difficult to find the layer I'm looking for.

Un-ticking All Objects under ICM Properties and Themes
The "Properties and Themes" provides the option to Display certain model Object Layers (i.e. Node, Conduit, 2D Zone, etc.). It is a very long list of about 50 layers.
It would be helpful if there is an option to Tick (or Un-Tick) all layers at once.

Pause simulations during server restarts
Please could we have an ability to pause simulations whilst an InfoWorks ICM server is restarted?
As part of the wider drive to reduce CSO spills there is an increasing need to run long time series through sewer models. This can require models to simulate for multiple weeks; this isn't compatible with automatic updating on servers, which restarts them to apply updates, which causes any active simulation to fail.
Microsoft Azure for example has a monthly patching cycle and sometimes more frequent for ad-hoc critical security updates. With simulations running for multiple weeks and more InfoWorks users moving to cloud…5 votes
