water age - representing re-chlorination station by resetting age to 0 hrs
Depending on the size of the distribution/reticulation system water is often chlorination at the WTP and re-chlorinated at various locations within the network.
There is no way to reset the water age value at a reservoir or node etc. to represent a re-chlorination station. This makes it difficult to get an idea of the age of water in the reticulation since passing the last re-chlorination station.
Can this feature be added to the model?

I would like more informative error messages when trying to Change an ID
I tried to change the ID for a pump, but I overlooked the “Target Element Type” dropdown, which was automatically set to junction.
It took me a while to realize my mistake. It might be helpful to other users if the error messages/warnings (see below) were a bit more informative… I’d suggest something like “WARNING: Junction ID ‘P1240’ does not exist.” I think this would have helped me realize my error much sooner.
WARNING: unable to change Junction ID from 'P1240' to 'P1241'.
MESSAGE: no Junction ID was changed.2 votes -

Node Name Generation Default
In WS PRO it would be great to be able to set Node Name Generation format as a default for all networks in a database instead of having to enter it in every time I want to add nodes to a network
5 votesThe functionality is already provided with the Digitisation Template in WS Pro. Please confirm what enhancement are you suggesting. Thanks

Add new run groups and move existing runs to these
I’ve currently got one very big run group which should’ve really been split into several different ones.
Is there a way to move around runs? In the explorer there’s only really the option to duplicate.4 votes -
As a user, I would like to automate importing network from any external software (Synergi, Epanet, Aquis etc,) in model group
To complete the initial model set up with Exchange tool, it will be great if importing external software is also automated, as this will enable us do the complete set up in one go without opening the model.

Improvements to custom DB table fields
- Ability to modify the length of custom fields in the DB tables after they have been created. This is particularly a problem when you create a text field, but realize later it is too short. Another option would be to make the default text length 250 characters rather than 20.
- Better manager for custom fields. The user should be able to create a field once and choose which information DB tables to add it to. See example at link. https://ibb.co/CbFKnn2

A simple way to straighten short links to display symbols more clearly
When using the "Expand Short Links" option I find that the expanded links will inherit some geometric points from the adjacent links, and hence symbols for valves, meters etc may not display too well if adjacent to a pipe bend. It would be useful to have a function to delete all bends from a selected group of links, so as to straighten the links out to enable symbols to be displayed more clearly.

Edit Pump and Valve Curves in IWLive
IWLive is the perfect platform to examine how well valve and pump curves are simulating the actual behavior under a wide range of system conditions. If these could be modified in an incident run, it would save lots of time going back to WS to modify them.

Boundary trace toolbar shortcut
I often use the boundary trace tool to understand the extent of a DMA/PMA. Currently, we have to go to Geoplan -> Tracing Tools -> Boundary Trace, and it would be a lot easier if it was available as a toolbar shortcut.

Hyperlinks to specific pages within a document, not just the file/folder
When adding hyperlinks to features within the properties, enable the ability to link to a specific page within the document itself rather than just opening the document on the first page or folder.

As a planner, I want a single, integrated modelling platform to represent the water supply, sewerage and drainage (1D/2D) system.
Melbourne Water has successfully completed a pilot modelling study using InfoWorks ICM to build a single integrated model to represent the water supply, sewerage and drainage system (including overland flooding) for a proposed redevelopment area (27,000 lots) in Melbourne.
The study explored the capabilities of the software to model the urban water cycle. It has identified some significant advantages to an integrated modelling approach, however there are some key limitations of the software and hardware which limit its future use.
We have published a joint paper that discussed the need and the concept and that can be make available upon…

As a user of InfoWorks WS PRO, I would like to better simulate FMV valves
In InfoWorks WS PRO is possible to simulate FMV valves, but I would like to introduce a "deviation" option to better simulate it.
I give an example: imagine a valve whose pressure setting is 2 Bar if flow is from 0 to 10 L/s, and 2.5 Bar if flow is from 10 to 20 L/s. I would like to introduce the possibility to add a "flow deviation" parameter to avoid unexpected opening/closing when flow is close to 10 L/s. For example, we could set deviation at 0.5 L/s, so that pressure will remain 2 bar up to 10.5 L/s when…1 vote -
Smarter UDF Flush Sequence Manager Operations tab selection tools
When using the UDF Flush Sequence Manager Operations tab [Close >], [Open >], or [Remove >] selection tools, I would like to receive the error "WARNING: Node ### is not in the Selection Set 'VALVES'" less often.
Currently you must zoom in and only select the node you wish to change the state of; any other nodes included in the selection that are not in the relevant selection set will cause this error to pop up.
When using [Close >], the tool should only recognize valves whose current state is set to Open, and should close all selected valves, ignoring…

InfoWater SA to be capable of managing transparency in the background layers

Option of splitting pipes/Polygons in InfoWorks WS Pro
Like the option available to split the polygons, if there is an option available that would be good.
If we are able to automatically split the pipe into many segments automatically using an automated option like the feature available in ICM to generate river cross sections, that would be helpful especially where we have long sections of pipes where it would be difficult to replicate ground level variations.

A simple way to get an upstream or downstream trace analysis for all objects (node or pipe)
In WS Pro
Upstream/downstream tracing is easy for a single object.
Obtaining a single useful value (i.e. property count) is easy for multiple objects.Combining the two is very difficult at the moment in WS Pro
I want to be able to obtain, either for all objects or a selection, the value of data x upstream or downstream.
For example: length of mains upstream, no of properties downstream
This would be a really powerful risk assessment tool but also useful for quick operational analysis.
