Setting Mark for VAV Boxes/Terminal Units to A Number + Room Number

[tim102289]

Is there a way to set the Mark on a terminal unit to be a number, dash, then the room number?  Or even more specifically, A number from parameter concatenated with the room number the terminal unit is in?  If not, another option would be a column in a schedule which concatenates this information, the number in one column, and the room number in another column.

No. The Mark Value is a unique system Parameter that is not accessible for manipulation by the user. I would recommend NOT relying on the Mark parameter for identifying equipment. For more information on this, search this forum for previous discussions. Here is the latest similar thread that I know of: How to lock a prefix on a mark per family

Regarding their use in schedules, your only option would be to display these values is separate columns in a Schedule - it is not possible to concatenate parameter values at this time.

Would there be a way to make a column in the schedule that has 4-room_number (4-01 for example)?  I think I could make labels for the floor plans easy enough but it would be nice if this was something I could put in a schedule too, without manually typing them all in.

Unfortunately, there's just no way to combine the data from fields into one, or even to add a static prefix or suffix.
