Project Setup

After installation, either a new AVEVA Electrical project (and database) must be setup, or an existing project Workgroup file must be selected. The Workgroup file is a data file that holds the details of all AVEVA Electrical projects located on the system.

Run an AVEVA Electrical module. If this is the first time an AVEVA Electrical application (or module) has been run on the workstation, the Browse For Folder window will be displayed.

To select an existing project, use the dialog to select the folder in which the project Workgroup file is located and click OK.

Note:
If multiple AVEVA Electrical users are to work on the project then this Workgroup file folder should be located on a common network drive accessible to all these users.

The AVEVA Electricall Workgroup file is a Microsoft Access database that contains a single table that holds the names and locations of the AVEVA Electrical projects.

Note:
Microsoft Access is not required to run or manage AVEVA Electrical.

Note:
To reset a workstation’s Workgroup file (for example, if the wrong folder was selected), simply delete the file ‘Inst.ini’.
This file will be located in:

Users\<user name of installer>\AppData\Roaming

If this does not exist, AVEVA Electrical will ask for the Workgroup file once again.
