Use the Associations part of the AVEVA AIM Gateway Config window to add, modify and delete associations between element types. Element associations are reflected in the EIWM file.
Note:
The gateway does not validate the associations between element types. Make sure that
the association is meaningful for the users of AVEVA AIM. Invalid or incorrect associations
can cause confusion when they are imported to AVEVA AIM.
