Use CONNECT folders to support multiple environments

Folders in CONNECT can be used to support the use of multiple AVEVA Unified Engineering environments for your organization. The Folder Management functionality of CONNECT can be used to represent your business units or asset hierarchy.

For example, when a customer has projects and users located in different regions in the world, they can create folders and enable the AVEVA Unified Engineering service on these folders. As illustrated above, a customer may choose to have separate environments for their Upstream projects in APAC and EMEA. This approach enables separate AVEVA Unified Engineering environments to be provisioned in a single CONNECT account with Folders enabling access to be provided by the customer Connect administrator to specific users in the environment closest to them. This ensures users of the AVEVA Unified Engineering authoring tools are provided with the best performance and user experience, while allowing users with less demanding needs (for example, reporting), to easily move between all folders and environments.

To action a multi-environment set-up, the Customer Administrator must raise a support ticket via the AVEVA Knowledge & Support Center (https://softwaresupport.aveva.com).

For information about how to create a folder and add sub folders, refer to the CONNECT Quick Start Guide, and for information on the default groups and the roles, see Default groups and assigned roles for AVEVA Unified Engineering.
