To add a compartment, select the busbar (horizontal or vertical) to which the compartment is to be assigned and click Add. A new compartment is then added to the MCC or Switchboard with a default name and details.
To edit the details of a compartment, double-click on the compartment row. The Compartment Detail window is then displayed:

Edit the details as required.
Note:
An Excel export and import facility is provided to edit the compartment names of an
MCC or Switchboard in bulk, rather than one at a time using this window. Refer to
Change Compartment Names in Bulk (Export/Import) for further information.
The Compartment Typical field and button are used to assign a compartment typical to the compartment, replacing the default Connector element.
Note:
The Attached Documents link is used to access the Attached Documents window, which is used to attach documents to the load and view a list of documents
already assigned. Refer to Attachments (External Documents) for further information.
New compartments are automatically added to the bottom of the list of compartments assigned to a busbar. To change the position of a compartment in the list, select it and use the Up and Down buttons.
To move a compartment to a different busbar, right-click on it. A list of the other busbars of the supply is then displayed. Click on the required busbar to complete the re-assignment.
