This shows the path of the default device library as set in Tools > Options > File Locations. If you select Specified, you can browse your directories to assign a library path to this particular one-line database. The path of the specified library will be stored in the one-line file. |

| Schedule Template Type | You can specify the schedule template you want to use for MCCs, panels, panelboards, and switchgear. The schedule templates set up in Tools > Options > File locations are used by default, but if you select the Specified check box, you can select a different default template that is specific to this one-line database. A copy of the schedule templates will be stored in the one-line file. See File-Specific Templates for more information. |
If you want to control who has access to a certain file, you can give the file a password. In File Properties, click New Password to create a password.
Figure 2: New Password Dialog
The first time you set a new password, the Old Password field will be dimmed. Type the new password in the New Password field. Type the password again in the Confirm Password field and then click OK. When you close the file and EasyPower asks if you want to save changes, click Yes. The next time you or anyone else tries to open the file, the password must be entered to open an editable copy. You can open the file as a read-only file without entering the password to view it, but you cannot save read-only files.
Figure 3: Database Access Rights Dialog
EasyPower has a user-specified library "(Std)" that can be used in conjunction with recommendations described in Article 220.40 in NFPA70-2014. The code factors discussed in the article are not used by default in EasyPower, but you can import them.
Figure 4: Code Factors Dialog Box
To import the code factors, select (Std) next to the library Type, and then click Import.
To apply the new code factors, click Recalculate All Downstream Load.
