Fastest way to assign several devices to a usage at once

anthonydefrenne · ‎2022-04-27

I am configuring a site for the ECC module with many devices and I want to assign several devices to a usage.

I don't want to drag them out one at a time, is there a faster way to configure several devices at once?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, you have a couple options in the Energy hierarchy to select multiple devices for assignment or reassignment at once.

1) If the devices you want to assign are in a continuous sequence in the list you can multi select any number of devices in the list of devices by clicking on the first device in sequence then shift clicking on the last device in sequence. This will select all of the devices between the first and last click.

2) If the devices are not in sequence, you can hold ctrl then click any number of devices to pick a group of devices to assign.

3) If you are re-assigning already placed devices you can hold shift and click to draw a fence around the devices you want to select. Once selected you can move them in a group to a new usage.

Thanks
