To share and use Industrial Graphics, you must configure the necessary access permissions in CONNECT as a CONNECT administrator. If you are not a CONNECT administrator, an administrator will need to configure the integration for you or grant you the necessary permissions.
The following sections provide broad guidance on configuring the integration, and some things you should consider first.
Before you start, you must have:
A paid CONNECT corporate account with administrative privileges.
If you do not have a CONNECT Account:
-
Browse to https://connect.aveva.com/ and register an account.
The account you register will be considered a personal CONNECT account and it will need to be migrated to a corporate account. Remember, you must be a CONNECT administrator to configure this integration.
-
To migrate your account to a corporate account, contact your distributor or feedback@aveva.com.
A paid corporate account with administrative privileges.
If you already have a paid AVEVA Insight solution, you must check to see if your AVEVA Insight solution is bound to a corporate account.
-
Log in to AVEVA Insight.
-
Select
to view your user profile.
If the ACCOUNT section has your email address listed, you have a personal account.
-
Contact your distributor or feedback@aveva.com and ask that they convert your account to a corporate account.
A paid Integration Studio subscription.
If you have a paid AVEVA Integration Studio subscription and are experienced with CONNECT , but have yet to configure AVEVA Insight:
-
Browse to https://insight.connect.aveva.com/ and create an AVEVA Insight solution.
The account you register will be considered a personal connect account, and it will need to be migrated to a corporate account.
-
To migrate your account to a corporate account, contact your distributor or feedback@aveva.com.
If you do not have a paid AVEVA Integration Studio subscription:
-
Contact your AVEVA distributor and state that you want to purchase the service and for them to enable the service on your account.
If your organization has purchased the on-premises Developer license or AVEVA Integration Studio, you should already have this available in your CONNECT account. After an AVEVA distributor has enabled AVEVA Integration Studio, you will be able to subscribe to it from the Services Catalog.
Note: For detailed information on subscribing to AVEVA Insight when you already have an AVEVA Integration Studio subscription, refer to the AVEVA Integration Studio online help.
Knowledge of who your CONNECT administrator is.
If you are not a CONNECT administrator, contact your CONNECT administrator and work with them to configure Industrial Graphics. If you don't know who your CONNECT administrator is, email feedback@aveva.com.
An understanding of CONNECT.
CONNECT (https://connect.aveva.com/) is the common cloud platform on which AVEVA Insight and AVEVA Integration Studio sit. CONNECT helps to organize your applications and projects and it facilitates managing security across applications that work together.
Before you use CONNECT to configure the Industrial Graphics integration, it is important to understand some of the basic features and functionality that make CONNECT unique.
What's a solution?
A solution is the product that AVEVA makes available to customers. AVEVA Insight solutions are reflected as folders in CONNECT. You can enable multiple applications and capabilities in CONNECT on a folder where data is shared with multiple applications; for example, AVEVA Insight, BI Gateway, Predictive Analytics, etc.
What are Connect folders used for?
Folders in CONNECT are used to partition data. They work analogously to folders in a traditional tree explorer. Many AVEVA products use projects to model the same concept. Folders represent your assets, but they can refer to any partition of data.
What about permissions?
AVEVA Insight user permissions are currently managed directly in AVEVA Insight. As a result, providing access in CONNECT will not give a user access to AVEVA Insight. For information on managing users in AVEVA Insight, refer to Set up and manage user accounts.
AVEVA Integration Studio user permissions are managed in CONNECT.
