Inputting demand diagram in WS Pro
There are currently two methods to input data into demand diagram, manually and import via a DDG text based file. The DDG import method is highly sensitive to the format and archaic carried over from InfoWorks WS era. A suggestion is to create import from a more conventional grid style or CSV format to make ease of importing large data set easier. The ability to open the CSV in WS Pro and select the pattern title, time, data and other coefficients before import will be great improvement over the current approaches.

InfoWater results export improvements
The EXTAPPFILTER option is useful for automatically exporting results for use in other programs. However, the results are exported as DBF files with an identically named MDX file (for example, JUNCTOUT.DBF and JUNCTOUT.MDX). The presence of the MDX files causes errors when attempting to use the DBFs in MS Access or PowerBI. The only way to import the results into Access or PowerBI is to first delete the MDX files.
As far as I can tell, the MDX files serve no purpose; they are just an index. I suggest either (1) don't create the MDX files, or (2)…

Export InfoSurge results for external application
InfoWater can use the option to "Export simulation results for external application" to export selected results to DBF files. It would be nice to have this work for InfoSurge.

Allow the InfoWater Pro "Live Data Adapter" to use non-live data
The Live Data Adapter can be a powerful tool for calibrating models, but is difficult to set up. Many times, you don't have permission to connect to the SCADA historian database. Right now, it only supports ClearSCADA, PI, SQL Server, and Oracle, formats which require familiarity with these databases. If the tool could connect to Excel, CSV, or Access DB files, it would be more flexible and useful to all users.
Alternatively, update the "Real-Time Data Connection" feature (Command Center>Edit) to allow for gap analysis.

Smart meters
Water utilities in Australia are installing smart meters in domestic and other non residential properties. Smart meters generates large data sets at each and every individual properties. Any thoughts to integrate those data in to the distribution network models?
6 votesDemand patterns/direct demands in WS Pro can be updated from Live Data by right-clicking on the demand diagram and selecting Update→From Live Data. Incrementing the number of demand categories within the demand diagram it has proven not to be expensive in terms of computational resources (different to the actual “pattern update” which could take long when performed against a wide spectrum of customers).
