* Post QGIS 3.14 TUFLOW Viewer stores all results internally as absolute time and the user must change the reference time in the native properties of the mesh layer to alter the dates being displayed. '''Zero Date''' now only changes how the relative time is displayed in TUFLOW Viewer and doesn't change the mesh layer reference time.
* Please follow the link below on how to use isodate (date-time) format in TUFLOW Viewer in QGIS 3.16+ (recommended minimum version if using date-time format): <u>[[TUFLOW_Viewer_-_Isodate_(Date-Time)_Format | Working With Isodate (Date-Time) format]]</u>.

== TUFLOW-SWMM Results ==
Results from a linked TUFLOW-SWMM model can be loaded via the standard menu options (available from the TUFLOW plugin version 3.10):
* <u>'''[[TUFLOW_Viewer_-_Load_Results_-_Time_Series | Load Results - Time Series]]'''</u> toTo load the GPKG time series format (_swmm_ts.gpkg) by itself. The GPKG time series format is a new format similar to the .tpc with some additional functionality. More information can be found in the <b><u>[[#GPKG_Time_Series_Format | GPKG Time Series Format]]</u></b> section.
* <u>'''[[TUFLOW_Viewer_-_Load_Results_-_Map_Outputs | Load Results - Map Outputs]]'''</u> toTo load in 2D map output results
* <u>'''[[TUFLOW_Viewer_-_Load_Results | Load Results]]'''</u> toTo load all available results from the model. This includes .xmdf, .tpc, and .gpkg results which could all be available for a given model run. Note that .tpc and .gpkg are both time series type results and will load separate GIS _PLOT_ layers.
