Insert Plugin from Folder

This guide explains how to use the 'Insert Plugin from Folder' feature in LEAP to integrate standardized 'mini models' of sectors, subsectors, and industries into a user's model area.

• LEAP plugins are designed as 'mini models' for specific sectors or industries that can include standardized methodologies, data structures, modeling relationships, and default data. When integrated with the LEAP Cloud Data Server (LCDS), these plugins can incorporate data that varies by country.
• The process of inserting a plugin involves selecting a '.LEAPPlugin' data file and using the Add Plugin wizard to map the plugin's root branches into the model's branch structure. LEAP includes validation to prevent root branches from being placed in incorrect positions.
• Users can manage cross-cutting data (such as fuels, scenarios, and units) via two options: a 'simple' option that adds all new data, or an 'advanced' option that allows users to add, assign, or ignore individual data items, such as mapping a general fuel like 'coal' to a specific one like 'bituminous coal'.
