Libraries

You can use libraries to store items that you regularly reuse when creating graphics pages.

Plant SCADA supports two types of libraries:

• Standard Libraries

  Standard libraries are designed to support projects that run on Plant SCADA display clients.

  The items in a standard library can include:

  • Symbols

  • Genies

  • Super Genies

  • Page Templates.

    The content of a library can be distributed across a project and its included projects. If you use a Starter Project to create a new project, a set of libraries are available for use in the included projects.

    You can add an item to a library when it is created and saved in Graphics Builder.

    To browse the content of the libraries associated with the active project, use the Libraries view in the Visualization activity (see Browse Libraries in Plant SCADA Studio).

• Industrial Graphics Libraries

  Industrial Graphics symbols are designed for delivery to web-based clients via the AVEVA Web Server. They are created and edited using AVEVA Industrial Graphics Editor.

  To browse the Industrial Graphics symbols associated with the active project, use the Libraries view in the Visualization activity (see Browse Industrial Graphics Libraries in Plant SCADA Studio).

  Note: When you delete an item from a library, it is only marked for deletion. To permanently delete marked items you need to "pack" your libraries. For more information, see Pack Libraries.
