The Measurement Connectivity - Cascading Save As window enables you to create a duplicate copy of an entire hierarchy of connected objects, including properties and connectivity. Instead of manually creating new instances, you will save time by automatically creating a copy of a measurement site, measurement station, or measurement point.
You can perform the following:
-
Create new connected sites, stations, points, meters, and gas qualities (GQs).
-
Change the desired objects' name.
-
Connect existing objects to new objects.
-
You can also create new sites, stations, or points using the Properties window and the Save As command. The difference between the two operations is outlined in the table below.

Note: You will not be able to perform a Cascading Save As when the Dataset is not owned or the Area of Responsibility (AOR) is not controllable.
