5.3 Workflow Directories
The WorkflowFiles directory organizes workflow configuration files by the processes they handle. This directory contains a subdirectory for System + Preprocessing and a separate subdirectory for forecast groups. Segment level items are included in the forecast group subdirectory.
The System + Preprocessing subdirectory contains workflow files to handle the sequencing of tasks:
- system wide processes such as Rolling Barrel
- importing/exporting such as scalars, grids, and ratings
- river forecast area preprocessing
- forecast group workflows
The names are very straightforward. For example, a file designed to sequence preprocessing activities includes "preprocessing" in the name.
A forecast group subdirectory contains forecast group and segment level workflow files to handle the sequencing:
- forecast group update states
- forecast group preprocessing
- segment workflows
- module activities within a segment
- segment update states
- segment preprocessing
Again, naming conventions are straightforward with "ForecastGroup" and "Segment" used as distinguishing identifiers.

Attention! Each segment in the forecast group has EACH of the following files: Segment_UpdateStates.xml, Segment_Flow_Forecast.xml, and Segment_Forecast.xml.
