Combining Panel Parameters

You can combine parameters of the type(s) that display in that part of a schedule. The values for the combined parameters will display in the same cell separated by a slash or other separator.

For example, in the Header and Footer sections, you can combine Project Information and Electrical Equipment parameters. In the Circuit Table, you can combine Electrical Circuit parameters. In the Loads Summary, you can combine Electrical Equipment parameters.

Note: Because combined parameters are not assigned to a category, they cannot be reused. If you want to move the calculated value to a different cell, you must re-enter it.

1. Click Manage tabSettings PanelPanel Schedule Templates Edit a Template.
2. In the Edit a Template dialog, select a template type and click Open.
3. Select a cell and click Combine Parameters.

5. Optionally, you can add a prefix, suffix, or sample value to the parameter.
