Although the release did not automatically initialise monthly-all-time extreme records, the new monthly records editor provided in that release had a "fetch dayfile" button. By clicking just one '''Copy''' button, the one ''in the header row'', all the relevant daily records were copied into the monthly-all-time records for the month of the selected tab. Therefore by doing that again for every other tab (except any tab for a month when you had never used the original Cumulus), and then clicking '''OK''' button, you manually initialised all the parameters (assuming your dayfile had all the parameters - see [[Calculate Missing Values]]). | Although the release did not automatically initialise monthly-all-time extreme records, the new monthly records editor provided in that release had a "fetch dayfile" button.

As described below, the Cumulus '''Edit' menu includes a '''Today's rain''' option where you can adjust the [[Today.ini#Editing_rainfall_in_today.ini_within_Cumulus|total rainfall for today]] (e.g. if you or the wind have knocked your rain gauge), but note this does not correct "rain this hour", "rain since midnight", "maximum daily rain rate", "maximum 24 hour rain", or any extremes (for this month/year or all time). | |||
There is no facility provided to edit any other content of [[today.ini]]. Manual correction may be possible, but do read advice on [[today.ini]] page. | |||

Please note that this edit does not affect "rain rate", "maximum hourly rain", "maximum 24-hour rain", or "rain since midnight", nor does it update every data log line so it has correct rainfall counter reading. Also, if you ask MX to automatically insert a new row into a monthly table on your database server whenever a new line is stored in the [[Standard_log_files]], your database will retain incorrect values, as these are not updated by this correction. | Please note that this edit does not affect "rain rate", "maximum hourly rain", "maximum 24-hour rain", or "rain since midnight", nor does it update every data log line so it has correct rainfall counter reading.
