How do I connect the preprocessor schedules imported from an EnergyPlus to objects in OpenStudio?

Hi Everyone,

I recently imported an .idf file into OpenStudio. The .idf file included the basement pre-processor schedules . Once in OS, I defined the boundary conditions for each of the basement walls and floor as "Other Side Coefficient" just I had done previously in EnergyPlus under the "Facilities" tab. The problem, however, occurs when I attempt to define the Outside Boundary Condition Object by dragging the pre-processor schedules over. For some unknown reason, OS is not allowing me to define the Object using the EnergyPlus schedule that has been imported over.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
