Duplicate and Delete Projects or design

Summary:

The following article will outline the steps for duplicating and deleting projects in OpenSolar.

Duplicating a project:

A great productivity tool to enhance your workflow. Users may find this feature particularly useful when needing to send several proposals out to different owners within the same site, e.g. a multi-dwelling building or office block. This feature is also great when looking to compare/apply different consumption profiles to the same system design to see how the ROI/savings reflects on the proposal.

Duplicating projects couldn't be simpler:

1. Head to the Projects section
2. Open the project to be duplicated
3. Scroll to the bottom of the Info page
4. Hit the Duplicate Project button
5. Confirm via the pop up that you wish to load the duplicated project in a new tab
6. Modify the replicated project to suit your needs and save the changes
7. Job done!

Original and duplicated projects can be accessed via the Projects section.

Duplicated projects can be identified from the Manage section. A new event is logged in the project history, recording the duplication action for future reference.

Perfect for system experimentation and testing, new build portfolios and general utility. Managing project designs has never been easier 🙌

Please note the following details will not be duplicated, as these items are likely to be unique for each individual project:

• Project history events
• Project management actions
• Planned activities/events in the calendar (manage page)
• Project files
• Transactions
