    Deprecated Configuration Variables in OpenBuildings Designer

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Workspace
      Subarea: Configuration

    This list is no longer maintained but has been retained for reference during V8i to CONNECT Edition migration, it includes Power Platform configuration variable changes made at the initial release of OpenBuildings Designer are listed below. If these variables are set in an existing V8i custom WorkSpace they should be omitted when migrating CFG files to OpenBuildings Designer.
