Data Types and Managed Emission Factor Sets Extract from Account Style Wizard

Request: The ability to extract (in bulk) a table outlining  'Factor sets' (e.g., DEFRA, NGERS, eGRID & US Climate Leaders etc.) that are available for each Data Type used by configured Account Styles via the Account Style wizard. 

Problem: Under the Partner model, where Associates from multiple reporting jurisdictions leverage a single Account Style database, data managers are required to make an informed decision as to which Account Styles/Data Types to map data. A key consideration in this process is what managed emission factors are available for each Account Style/Data Type. 

Currently, the only way for Partners to obtain this information is one-by-one in the Account Style Wizard. For large Partners where thousands of Account Styles are configured, this is not an efficient or scalable solution, and is a significant barrier to making informed data decisions.

    Will provide current list while we consider options to better enable partners to identify potential data types for large volumes of data sources.

    Agreed, this would be extremely helpful in making informed decisions about which account styles to use.
