FAQ

Q: Why is my quick start resource not being awarded OFFNS in Hour 1 of DAM?

A: This is due to the fact that quick starts are to be shown ON in the COP in Hour 24 of the current day (to satisfy min offline time they cannot be awarded offline AS in Hour 1 (or more, depending on the min offline time). As discussed in stakeholder meetings during NPRR272, the workaround is to show COP resource status as OFF in Hour 24 before DAM runs, and then change it to ON after DAM publishes. This will allow the quick start resource to be awarded OFFNS in Hour 1.
