Base Resource ID Column
Column Type = Text

This optional column is used to group various resource records in the table as one resource for commitment and dispatch. The column uses a resource ID to group the capacity from all units with the same Base Resource ID into one resource.  

Once the resources are aggregated into one "unit," the operating characteristics for the Base Resource are used for the aggregated capacity. The only information used from the individual resources are those needed to determine the capacity of the aggregated Base Resource such as: Area (it needs to be in a running area), Capacity, Capacity Monthly Shape, Capacity Shape 2, Nameplate Capacity, Resource Begin Date, Resource End Date.

Reporting for grouped records can also be determined via the Report All Units column.
