Some beginner's doubts

Hello, I am a student of a Spanish university who is doing a TFG on the energy saving by placing a heat pump that takes advantage of geothermal energy. For this analysis I am using Open Studio but I am new with the program and I have some doubts.

The structure, thermal zones and spaces have been made through sketchup and then I exported the file to Open Studio. I have not yet introduced any HVAC system because I had many more errors.
In the errors that I have listed below. I don't know where is in the open studio the section where to place the temperatures of the ground (i know how to do it in energy plus but not in Open studio ).
The failures of ''always off discrete and always on continuous'' I don't know exactly what they are caused by

Sorry for the inconvenience

Best regards, Pablo

Here are the errors:

* Warning * ProcessScheduleInput: Schedule:Constant="ALWAYS OFF DISCRETE", Blank Schedule Type Limits Name input -- will not be validated. * Warning * ProcessScheduleInput: Schedule:Constant="ALWAYS ON CONTINUOUS", Blank Schedule Type Limits Name input -- will not be validated. * Warning * GetHTSurfaceData: Surfaces with interface to Ground found but no "Ground Temperatures" were input.
