Tree View
The left panel of the Dashboard has two tabs: Scenarios and Objects. Clicking the tab that is already active collapses the left panel; clicking it again re-opens the panel. The Toggle left panel button at the left end of the Chart Toolbar does the same.
Scenarios Tab
The Scenarios tab lists the scenarios in your scenarios folder (chosen with the folder button in the Scenario Tab Bar).
Loading a Scenario
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Click a scenario row | Loads the scenario (site data) so its charts are available |
| Click the ≡ button on a row | Loads only the scenario's Summary (lighter; no chart data) |
| Right-click a scenario row | Opens the right-click menu |
Right-Click Menu

Your Own Folders
Use New Folder in the toolbar (or Ctrl+Shift+N) to group scenarios into folders of your own. Right-click one of these folders for Move to folder…, New Folder, Rename… and Delete. Deleting one of your folders moves its scenarios and sub-folders up one level; no files are deleted. Most changes in the tree offer an Undo.
Toolbar Controls
The Scenarios tab toolbar provides: Search · Expand All · Collapse All · Refresh (⟳) · New Folder.
The search box is case-insensitive and matches scenario names and folder names.
Row Buttons in Comparison and Series Summary
- While the Comparison viewer is open, each scenario row has a + / − button to add it to or remove it from the comparison.
- While Series Summary is open, each scenario row has a button to add it to or remove it from the Series Summary set.
Scenario Badges
Each scenario row shows one badge. If a scenario qualifies for more than one, HIST takes priority over BCAH, which takes priority over SIMU.
| Badge | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HIST | Amber | Historical run (the scenario has a Historical Database error report, or was run as a historical run) |
| BCAH | Teal | Backcast run |
| SIMU | Blue | All other scenarios |
A scenario row also has a coloured line on its left edge in the same colour as its badge (wider for HIST). The same badge appears on the scenario's tab in the Scenario Tab Bar.
Historical Store
In the desktop app, a Historical Store section in the Scenarios tab gives access to historical data kept in the Historical Store.
Objects Tab
The Objects tab lets you browse the objects of the currently loaded scenario.
The Objects tab is disabled until a scenario is loaded from the Scenarios tab. It is also disabled while Series Summary is open.
Object Hierarchy Branches
The Object Tree shows these top-level branches, in this order, when they have content:
| # | Branch | Visible when |

| 1 | FAVOURITES | At least one of your favourite objects is in this scenario |
