Output settings

The following parameters configure whether or not output reports are created for the simulation, such as reports detailing spatial or demographic data at each time step. By default, the InsetChart is always created.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of "NA" indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.

EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.

JSON format does not permit comments, but you can add "dummy" parameters to add contextual information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the model.

Parameter	Type	Min	Max	Default	Description
Custom_Coordinator_Events	array of strings	NA	NA	[]	The list of valid, user-defined Coordinator Events that will be included in the campaign. These are specifically events which apply with EventCoordinators, such completing distribution of a collection of interventions. Any event used in the campaign must be in this list.
Custom_Individual_Events	array of strings	NA	NA	[]	The list of valid, user-defined Individual Events that will be included in the campaign. These are specifically events which apply at an individual level, such as receiving a vaccine. Any individual event used in the campaign must either be one of the built-in events or in this list. See Event list for a list of all possible built-in events.
Custom_Node_Events	array of strings	NA	NA	[]	The list of valid, user-defined Node Events that will be included in the campaign. These are specifically events which apply at the node/location level, such as finishing using an EnvironmentalDiagnostic. Any event used in the campaign must be in this list.
Custom_Reports_Filename	string	NA	NA	""	The name of the file containing custom report configuration parameters. Omitting this parameter or setting it to RunAllCustomReports will load all reporters found that are valid for the given simulation type. The file must be in JSON format.

When there is more than one property type, the report will display the channel information for all combinations of the property type groups.
Enable_Spatial_Output	boolean	0	1	0	Controls whether or not spatial output reports are created. If set to true (1), spatial output reports include all channels listed in the parameter Spatial_Output_Channels. !!! note Spatial output files require significant processing time and disk space.
