The Weather Manager is the default view of the WeatherService—double-click the WeatherService to see it. You use this view to add or edit one or more child WeatherReports (one for each locale of interest). See Adding WeatherReports.
Like other managers, the WeatherManager is a table view listing defined child components (Figure 33). The Weather Manager table has the following available data columns:
-
Name
Name for the WeatherReport (by convention, edited to be the locale for the report).
-
Current
Current temperature, and summary text descriptor (“Overcast,” “Sunny,” “A Few Clouds,” etc.).
-
Today
Today’s forecast data, including temperature high/low, text summary, and precipitation chance (%).
-
Tomorrow
Tomorrow’s forecast data, including same values as in Today.
-
Sunrise/Sunset
Predicted time of day for sunrise/sunset.
-
Status
Current status of weather report.
-
Provider
Text descriptor of the locale providing the weather report, for example, “
Richmond, VA”. Typically this is the same provider descriptor used when selecting a provider in the New dialog.
