=== Loading Energy Offers Data ===
<span style="color:#2E5894">
'''>> To load Offers data into a Forecast Definition:'''
#Click the '''Load Data button''' (or you can also use the '''Data > Load Data''' option in the Menu bar of the '''''Forecast Definition Window''''' to open '''''The Load Data Window''''')
#Use the '''Load Offers Data Dialogue''' to specify the details of the Offers data you wish to use,
#Use the '''Date Selector''' to set the start date for loading seven consecutive days data of Offers from Database into the Forecast Definition. (The Start Date is defaulted from the start date of the Effective Date Range for the Forecast Definition); or
#To load data from file, use the Windows file browser to locate the formatted Offers files. 

NOTES:
#When loading Offers data from file ''EMarketOffer'' uses the calendar date in the Demand file name to establish the week day for which data will be loaded into the Offers profile.  Loading two files for a Friday means the first set of data will be overwritten by the second set.  This means you can only load data for seven days into one profile.
#It is possible to load partial Offer sets for limited Trading Periods and/or limited Generation Units. Only data for the Trading Periods and Generation Units in the partial file will overwrite existing data (when the Keep and Overwrite Check Box is selected).

=== Loading Reserves Offers ===
Reserves Offers can be loaded from online databases, but not from file. If your online databases do not contain Reserves Offers it is recommended that you prepare Reserves Offers in Excel and paste the results directly into the Reserves Offers Grid.

=== Editing Loaded Offers Data ===
Offers data can be edited individually by Unit using the '''''[[EMO:Loaded_Units#The_Edit_Unit_Window|Edit Unit Information Window]]''''' accessed through the loaded data panel on the '''''[[EMO:The Forecast Definition Window|Forecast Definition Window]]'''''. 

<span style="color:#2E5894">
'''>> Offer Quantities and Prices can be modified:'''
#Individually from the keyboard
#In groups by pasting into the Offers data grid from the clipboard
#By re-loading from the database (replaces the existing profile) 
#By loading edited Offers files to replace all or part of the existing Offers profile.
#Using the Data Copy feature in the Edit Offers Data Window.

NOTE:  Data pasted into the Offers Data Grid overwrites existing data as soon as it is pasted.
