List Tab

The List tab shows the set of models in the system. The list has one row for each model and the settings in a row identify model characteristic such as the data to be modeled, the weather data to be used, and technical settings for the modeling method. Data can be edited directly in the grid or can be managed using the Model Propertiesdialog. Models are added to the list by selecting the Add command and configuring the model properties.

Calculation Status

On the list, the Needs Estimation column indicates the calculation state of the Model. When Needs Estimation is green, the model parameters are estimated and ready for forecasting. When the Needs Estimation is yellow, the model parameters are not estimated and require estimation prior to forecasting. The model may be estimated using the Estimate action (Model Actions) on the Toolbar or from the Action menu.
