[Equest-users] Saving Schedules to Library

[Paul Riemer]

Collectively, we have previously suggested to create snippet text.inp files and then use the Import command rather than copy paste within a text editor.   So you might have a library of inp files for things like constructions, schedules, hourly reports, and utility rates (but you can reference saved ones within the wizard too).  Of course some things are order dependent like your OA source system being ahead of your destination system so if you want a DOAS snippet, you may need to manually place that within in the project .inp file.

If you like having an inp snippet library then you might also try carrying the parametric run description (prd) file from project to project.

At this point in time....Yes, that is the best that we can do as far as I know.   I had a client once who told me they were using, or pulling in thier own company's "library" data info, but I don't know if this was in the formal sense of using the Libraries in eQuest or if they created a seprate file that could be read by thier eQuest files to pull in the equipment info they wanted.

The only way I know of and use right now is the copy paste method in the input file....

I am generating schedules for my model and was hoping to save them so I do not have to recreate them all the time. There is an option to "Save to Library" but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. I looked in the archive and the only emails on this topic say that you can only save the text from the input file and copy this into new models. Is this the best we can do?
