Configure instances

You can use the IDE to configure instances from a template with an Object Wizard, or you can graphically create instances using an editor that is started from the Graphic Editor. If you are using AVEVA OMI for your runtime environment, you can also access the editor through the ViewApp Editor or Layout Editor. See the AVEVA OMI online help for more information about these editors.

• From the IDE, the Object Wizard presents a series of prompts or questions, from which you select an answer to build a representation of a piece of field equipment, such as a pump, valve, PLC, etc.

• If you are using the Graphic Editor or one of the AVEVA OMI editors, select a graphic from the Toolbox tab and drag it onto an overview graphic. See Create a new instance graphically for more information.
