Cables created in AVEVA Instrumentation can be shared with AVEVA Electrical and vice versa.
If the Show cables from both Instrumentation and Electrical checkbox on the Options window is checked (this is the default setting), cables from Electrical shared with Instrumentation will be listed in the Cable Schedule. They will be "greyed out".
Whether or not a cable is shared, and if so, which application it was created in is displayed in the Discipline column:
-
If a cable is not shared, the discipline will be "Instrumentation".
-
If a cable is shared and was created in Instrumentation the discipline will be "Inst(Shared)".
-
If a cable is shared and was created in Electrical the discipline will be "Elect(Shared)".

A shared cable may be viewed in either application but may only be edited in the application in which it was created.
