Save Changes | Saves any changes made in the window outside of the Crew Information table. | |
ERT Override... | While periodically simulating the restoration process, Storm Management makes an estimated assessment and calculates an Estimated Restoration Time (ERT) for each eligible event. The estimates are accessible to other NMS modules. This option opens the ERT Override dialog box, which allows the accessibility of the Storm Management estimates to other modules to be turned on and off at any control zone level, and also allows for an alternate global or tiered estimate to be applied at any control zone level instead. The ERT Delays tab allows the user to adjust calculated ERT values, for any control zone, with a delay factor. | |
Force Simulation Run | Immediately invokes the simulation of the entire restoration process, recalculating the estimates. This option is typically only used in study mode. | |
Retrieve Update | Refreshes the window with the most recent information from the system. In most cases, the window refreshes itself on a periodic basis. But, if there are unsaved changes in the Storm Management window at the time the automatic refresh is due to occur, the window will not refresh. Instead, an alert appears in the status bar indicating that an update is available, and the Retrieve Update option must be invoked in order to refresh the window with the new update. This allows you to continue making your changes and save them first before refreshing. | |
Print All… | Opens the Print Preview dialog box, which allows you to print the Summary Information pane, Storm Report pane, Storm Information pane (if present), Crew Information pane (if present), and status bar information from the current Storm Management window. See “Taking Authority for Control Zones” for details on printing and using the Print Preview window. | |

Up to three storms can be active in a control zone at the same time. This option is not available in study mode. | |
End Storm... | Used to end an active storm for the current control zone. Opens the End Storm dialog box, prompting you to enter the information required to end the storm. This option is only available if the current control zone is in storm mode and the selected storm is the only storm active in this zone or it is not the storm used for ERT calculations. This option is not available in study mode. | |
Toggle Study Mode | Toggles the Storm Management window between real-time and study modes of operation. The current mode is displayed in the status bar. | |

Reset Study Session | When in study mode, allows you to reset the current study session with the current real-time session crews and parameters. | |
Forecast Profiles… | Opens the Forecast Profiles dialog box, which is used to save and pre-load outage forecasting parameters. This option is only available in storm mode at the simulation level. | |
