Add Participation Points Dialog
The Add Participation Points Dialog enables the addition of participation points to an injection group as
well as the modification of existing participation points. This dialog is accessed from a Participation
Point Records Display by right-clicking in the participation points list and selecting Insert from the
resulting local menu. Participation Point Records Displays are available from the Injection Group Dialog
or Injection Group Display.
The Add Participation Points Dialog features four tabs, one for adding generator points, one for adding
load points, another for switched shunts, and a fourth for adding points from injection groups that
have already been defined.
The four tabs are almost identical and contain the following controls:
Filtering
If the Use Area/Zone Filters box is checked, the list box beneath it, which lists generators, loads,
switched shunts or previously defined injection groups depending on the tab, will list only those
elements contained in areas or zones or by owners whose area/zone/owner filter setting is YES. If
this box is not checked, all generators, loads, and switched shunts in the case will be listed. Injection
groups will not be filtered using the area/zone/owner filter.
Alternatively, a custom filter can also be defined by clicking on the Define Filter button. This will
open the Advanced Filter dialog, which allows the customization of a filter for determining the
devices to list in the display.
Once the list of devices has been set, with or without filtering, the list can be searched using the
advanced search techniques in Simulator. These techniques allow the list to be sorted by name or by
number and allow the use of wildcard characters. Simply choose Name or Number, and type the
name or number of interest in the box. Simulator will look for and highlight the first matching device
in the list. If the first device is not the one of interest, use Search Next to find the next device that
matches the search criteria. For a comprehensive list of all objects matching the search criteria,
press Search All.
