A new utility called the Smart Linker simplifies the process of linking slots by recommending a set of links between two selected objects based on the type of object, their method selections, and the relationship between the two objects.

Linking recommendations were implemented for: Reach, AggReach, AggDistributionCanal, Stream Gage, Reservoir, Diversion Object and Confluence, Thermal, and Groundwater. The recommended links are in no way comprehensive; additional recommendations will be added in the future. Contact riverware‑support@colorado.edu if you have specific link recommendations that you would like implemented. All previously existing functionality for linking slots still remains.
