The name field (first box) is the new name. To fill in the wide field hover over the input button, it calls up a menu of fields, and click them, then an operator (e.g. +) and repeat for an additional field.
As @Linwood stated. The name of the feed is at the top of the window. Below in the section you were typing the name is what you want the assigned output to include. Something like (Main1 + Main2) would assign the given output the total of the two mains; in a split phase system. You could do something like (Main1 + Main2 + Solar) to get an idea of home consumption; etc.
Once you have a formula that is valid and a name in the top, the SAVE option will appear. It will not let you save without a valid input.
I worked out the problem.
Ive had it happen 2 or 3 times now, where it wont let me save any sort of output function.
If i refresh the web page and start again, the save button appears.
That should work. One thing that occurs to me is that the display is not updated with each keystroke, only after the cursor is moved out of a field that has been changed. Is it possible that is the issue here?
First timer inching my way in. I’m posting here because the above discussion outlines my first insurmountable problem. The “save” button just will not appear when I attempt to create my first calculated output, even after entering the label, units and function. Tried a different browser, same thing. Refreshed the screen; the Output dialog box just disappeared back into the Setup button. Tabbed around, cursored around. No dice. Suggestions?
Overeasy, it looks exactly like the screenshot a few posts up. UPDATE: I’ve been playing with it, and I actually got it to work. But the appearance and disappearance of the “save” button seems random to me. For example, I typed “Main Power” as a label, and tabbed. No save button. I reselected the box and typed “boop” and then tab, and “save” appeared! So I slowly overtyped “main” and then tab, and save disappeared. Sigh. I think it’s what side of my mouth I hang my tongue out?
It’s still doing it. Tried replicating my previous success, doesn’t work… as you can see, no save button despite, I think, filling in all the fields appropriately. Edit–just realized that if I don’t use a space, i.e. MainPower, it accepts that now. My first attempt, at one point, accepted that name WITH the space. So…
If it helps,i think my issue was as @overeasy stated, in that you have to move the cursor out of the display.
I cant be 100% certain though, as i havent been able to replicate the issue. I was even doing some minor mods to those functions yesterday and it was fine.
The tip-off is that name is glowing red. 5h3y cannot have embedded spaces. If you did previously succeed in using a space, you should be able to show me that name in the outputs display.
Overeasy, you’re right. They key is NO SPACE allowed. Other than that, it’s just a matter of tabbing or cursuring off the box in order to input the data. A little humbling to be tripped up by such a simple thing.
