Manhole Schedule Numbering
For MH tables and report outputs, it would be good to have an option to report chronologically, e.g. 1-30.
I understand it numbers them on the first Manhole built in the model however I think it would make more sense to go from shallowest to deepest, e.g. U/S to D/S. As is quite common in design additional MHs need to be incorporated further into the model due to clashes or change in direction etc, so it would be best if all outputs and MH tables followed the numerical order.1 vote -
Provide Enhanced Manhole Schedule Details
It would be great to have the option of providing an additional level of customisable detail which could be configured on MH Schedules.
As an example including practical details around the cover – contractors want to know and see more from a MH schedule when out on site.
Examples of details around the type of cover:
Cover Size
Opening Size
Recessed
Solid Top
Loading ClassCurrently this level of additional detail is often added manually to MH schedules exported from software.

"Copy to clipboard" alongside print/export on Microdrainage spreadhseet input/outputs
Would greatly simplify the process of getting results/details from MD into a report, skipping a stage in the current process (Export to CSV/Excel - Open)

Assess scenarios based on annual water balance (runoff, infiltration, evaporation)
Assessment of the annual water balance is an important criteria to evaluate drainage design at neighbourhood level.
Functionality to assess scenarios in a chart (similar to typical pre-urban vs. urban) would save time in GIS-postprocessing1 vote -
Print Tickbox for Manhole Schedule Layout option
In MicroDrainage 2019.1 the Manhole Schedule printout also includes a manhole layout, sometimes this is unnecessary and it would be helpful if there was an additional tickbox option in the printout settings.
