You can switch to another active operating case whenever necessary. In order to switch to another active case, you must have Full Control access rights given to you in Smart Engineering Manager. If the Switch Active Operating Case command is disabled, your access rights are not set to Full Control.

Before switching to another active operating case ensure the following:

  • If the software detects that other users have open drawings on their computers, we strongly recommend that you contact these users and ask them to close all their drawings before you start making the switch. Smart Electrical does not prevent you from switching to another operating case if other users have not closed their drawings. However, this may cause data inconsistency.

  • After the switch has been made, other users working with the same plant will not be able to save the changes that they have made to load data until they close and reopen Smart Electrical.

Switch to another active operating case in your plant

You define the required operating cases in Options Manager. For details, see Plant Operating Case Managementin the Options Manager Guide.

To switch to another active case, do the following:

  1. On the Smart Electrical menu bar, select Actions > Switch Plant Operating Case > Switch Active Operating Case.

    Smart Electrical still retains the old functionality — the Switch Mode (Rule-Driven) command.

  2. On the Switch Active Operating Case dialog, select the operating case that you want to switch to.

  3. Select OK.

Rules defined in Rule Manager do not apply to non-active cases. Therefore, to ensure that no such rules have been violated, run the Fix Inconsistencies command on the File menu after switching to a case for which Rule Manager rules have been defined.

For details on how to define and store the values of electrical equipment and buses for a specific operating case, see Manage Operating Case Data for Plant Items.
