If selected, each report you generate is appended to the reports generated before it. If not selected, the previous text reports are cleared when you generate a new report.

Equipment Palette Lock
|
If selected, when an item is chosen from the equipment palette the pointer remains set as that item until you either press ESC or you select a different palette item. If not selected (default), only one item per mouse click is placed. For instance, adding five buses to the one-line would require selecting the bus button from the Equipment Palette five separate times if this option is not selected.

If selected, you will be asked to confirm the deletion every time you try to delete an item.
|
| Confirm Disconnect |
If selected, you will be asked to confirm that you actually do want to disconnect the items you have chosen.
|
| Verify Phase Shifting Integrity of System |
If selected, EasyPower checks for invalid transformer connections when you enter the Short Circuit focus. For example, a delta-wye transformer (which causes a 30-degree phase shift) in parallel with a delta-delta transformer (no inherent phase shift) is an invalid connection.
Important: If this box is not checked and invalid connections exist, short circuit calculations could be incorrect.
|
| Confirm Save on Incomplete Database Dialog |
If selected and you attempt to close a database dialog box which does not have data entered in all of the required fields, you receive a message asking if you would like to save the data that you have entered.

By default, this setting is not selected, which means you can pan by pressing the wheel and dragging the mouse; spinning the mouse wheel zooms in or out depending upon the direction of spin.
|
|
Auto-calculate fields for equipment dialogs and spreadsheets
|
If selected, all dialog boxes and spreadsheets that contain a Calculate button automatically recalculate results when you change values used in the calculations. The results fields are unavailable and you cannot enter results.
|

If selected, only the outline of the inserted picture appears on the one-line. The picture area is dimmed. This affects only the one-line. The picture will appear in the printout. If this is not selected, the entire picture appears.
|
|
Show auto-created buses as nodes
|
If selected, when auto creating buses (see next item below) during addition of equipment to other equipment not terminated with a bus, the newly created bus between the two equipment is shown as a node (dot) if this setting is enabled. See picture below.
Figure 2: Auto created bus as node and as default shape
|
|
Auto create bus on unconnected line endpoints
|
If selected, you can add one equipment to another such that the program automatically creates a bus at each connection point. If this is not selected, you need to create the buses manually before you can connect one equipment to another.
|

Include bus nodes when printing
|
If selected, the printout shows the nodes (which are buses). Otherwise, the buses do not appear on the printout.
|

If selected, you will be asked to confirm whether you intended to delete media gallery files. This prevents you from accidentally deleting the wrong file.
|
| Use per phase basis for Code Factor kVA calculations |
If selected, the maximum amp for the three phases is the basis for calculations. If not selected, the average of the three phases is used. |
|
Confirm global ZSI and Maintenance mode changes
|
When selected, this option displays a warning message when ZSI or maintenance mode is set to on or off for all protective devices in an analysis focus. The message does not appear when you change individual devices. This option helps to alert you that all protective devices are being changed.
|
|
Include warnings in Error Reports
|
When selected, this option suppresses warnings from being displayed on error reports when validation occurs on the one-line, such as when using Verify OL Data on the Tools tab.
