Differences Between EasyPower and OnSite
If you are familiar with EasyPower, many of the concepts used in OnSite will be familiar to you. However, there are some important differences to note:
- In OnSite, the same equipment can appear in more than one one-line. In addition, the same equipment can appear in both a one-line and a spreadsheet.
- In OnSite, equipment items on the one-line are connected from one component to the next. For example, you do not drop a breaker on an existing cable in OnSite; instead, you connect the breaker to the bus, and then connect the cable to the breaker.
- OnSite is designed to allow flexible data collection. You can specify which information is required, but you are not forced to enter required information. Because OnSite is flexible, it does not validate that the information entered is a value that EasyPower accepts.
- Because OnSite is flexible, you can make connections in OnSite that are not allowed in EasyPower. For example, in OnSite, it is possible to connect a breaker to another breaker.
- It is not a requirement for you to create a one-line in OnSite to be able to enter equipment data as you must in EasyPower. For example, you can add equipment through a spreadsheet and enter the data there.
- OnSite is designed for you to have the best experience using a stylus or finger on a mobile tablet. In EasyPower, you are encouraged to use a mouse on a desktop system.
