This is how InfoSewer can use a time series of inflow at a specific node:
1. Use a mean loading of 1 so that the values in the Inflow Time Series stay the same as your inflow units in InfoSewer (Figure 1)
2. Create a PATTERN that is equal to your inflow time series
3. The pattern has to have the same time steps as your default Run Manager Pattern option, normally this will be one hour
4. The factor column is your inflow in cfs, gpm, lps or mgd (Figure 2)
5. The Base Load should equal your Inflow Pattern (Figure 3)
