Project Database Parameters
- Last UpdatedJul 18, 2023
- 1 minute read
Project database parameters can be used to set nominal defaults for parameters that are local to a specific Plant SCADA project, rather than a particular computer. For example, you could use the project database parameters to specify login requirements for all computers in a Plant SCADA system.
Note: Parameter settings in the Citect.ini file take precedence over project database parameters. For more information, see About Parameters.
To set parameters in the project database:
-
In the Setup activity, select Parameters.
-
Add a row to the Grid Editor.
-
Type the required information in each column, or in the Property Grid (see below for a description of the properties).
-
Click Save.
If you set (or change) parameters in the project database, you need to recompile the project before the new parameter settings are applied.
