To view the Project Settings tab, you require Administrator permissions.
The Project Settings tab enables you to view scan and dataset information at an account level. It displays the total project storage, the total number of scans in each dataset in a project, total number of datasets in the project and any integration between AVEVA Asset Information Management (AIM) and AVEVA Point Cloud Manager-Viewer using CONNECT.
Archive a project
This a new class of storage that enables you to store any unused project data in a low-cost storage environment. You can choose to transfer files from the project storage to the archive storage up to 4 times in a 12 month period.
Please note that archiving a project does not preserve snapshots.
To archive a project:
On the Admin page, go to the Project Settings tab and select the Archive button. The project is moved to the Archive storage and is inaccessible to the end user. However, all project data is backed up and can be restored at a later stage.

To transfer a project back from the Archive storage class to the Project storage, select Restore. Any permissions that were set on the project will remain as is without the need to reconfigure the access rights.

Only a project administrator has the right to archive and restore a project.
AIM integration
To add the AIM service tile to a folder in CONNECT, you must have the Administrator role enabled on your CONNECT account. To view your project in the Viewer interface, you need the Standard role enabled.
To begin the integration process:
-
On the CONNECT page, turn on the services that you want to integrate.
-
Select the three dots menu on the relevant service tile and select Manage integrations and then select a folder that you want to integrate with.
-
After you have made your selection, select Confirm. This initiates the integration process.
For more information about integrating solutions, refer to the CONNECT documentation.
To view the Integrations button within the Project Settings tab:
-
You must enable an integration on the relevant folder.
-
You must have the Administrator role assigned on that folder.
The Integrations button is disabled if you disable or delete the integration within the Manage integrations section of a folder within CONNECT or if any of the above conditions are not met.
If you have any markups, objects or datasets created in the Viewer interface that you wish to integrate into the AIM interface, select Update. If the associations are updated successfully, a message is displayed that implies that the integration process has begun.
It takes a couple of hours for the integration to complete, after which you can view your associations in the AIM interface.
