Add and configure the Enterprise folder

Note: The Enterprise folder replaces some of the functionality that the Applications folder had in earlier versions of AVEVA™ Production Management. Convert the Applications folders of your plant hierarchy to the new folders and work centers where it is relevant to do so.

The Enterprise folder is an element of the plant hierarchy. It correlates to the enterprise in the ISA-95 Equipment Hierarchy Model, and it represents the highest level into which you can divide the physical assets of a manufacturing company.

A project can contain only one Enterprise folder, and it can reside only at the project node. It is typically the root folder of the plant hierarchy, and you would usually name the folder with the name of the company. Depending on the requirements of the project, however, you can use site folders as roots of the plant hierarchy instead of the Enterprise folder.

Add an Enterprise folder

1. In Project Explorer, right-click the Project (root) folder, point to Add Item, point to Folders, and then click Enterprise Folder. A new Enterprise folder appears.

   

2. Configure the properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see Enterprise folder properties.
