Project Related Files

When a Spectrum project is subscribed to the AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access tenant environment, the folder structures under P:\AVEVAFiles and P:\ProjectFiles dynamically extend to cater for the project.

As an administrator you control user access permissions at the <Spectrum Project Name> file system folder level using Spectrum project roles in CONNECT.

For project-related files there are 2 shared storage areas accessed from P:\ drive:

• P:\AVEVAFiles\
  

  • Exposes links to cloudstore folders for Spectrum projects that have been subscribed (added) to the AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access tenant environment.

  • These files are not private as they are synchronized between other tenants who have also been given access/subscribed.

  • Access is controlled by customer CONNECT administrators via Spectrum Roles.

• P:\ProjectFiles\
  

  • Exposes Working Project Files file system folders for Spectrum project data

  • These files remain private to the AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access tenant environment.

  • Access is controlled by customer CONNECT administrators via Spectrum Roles

This scope of synchronisation\privacy is significant in terms of Intellectual Property & Data Protection between multiple stakeholders working on the same Spectrum project from different AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access tenant environments.

Under both P:\AVEVAFiles\ and P:\ProjectFiles\, a common file system folder structure is dynamically built relating to the CONNECT folders under which Spectrum services for subscribed Spectrum projects to the AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access environment reside.

The folder structure follows the pattern:

\<CONNECT Account>\_<CONNECT Folder Level1>\_<CONNECT Folder Level2>\<Spectrum Project Name>\

As an example, consider the scenario for a CONNECT account with Spectrum Solutions enabled at CONNECT account level (Example Industries) and 2nd-level CONNECT folder (Example Industries\Wind Farms\Europe):

The following projects subscribed from these Spectrum solutions to an AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access tenant environment:

The file system folders within the AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access environment would look like this:

Links to Spectrum cloudstores for CONNECT Account level Spectrum projects:

Links to Spectrum cloudstores for CONNECT Folder \Windfarms\Europe level Spectrum projects:

Working Project Files file system folders for CONNECT Account level Spectrum projects:

Working Project Files file system folders for CONNECT \Windfarms\Europe level Spectrum projects:

Notes:

• File system folders corresponding to CONNECT folders are prefixed with an underscore (_) to distinguish between and ensure separation of CONNECT folders and project links\folders.

• CONNECT folder names allow reserved characters that file system folders do not allow.
  To cater for this the file system folder characters are translated thus:

  CONNECT FOLDER CHARACTER	UE-BROWSER ACCESS FILE SYSTEM CHARACTER
  < (less than)	_LT_
  > (greater than)	_GT_
  : (colon)	_CL_
  " (double quote)	_DQ_
  / (forward slash)	_FS_
  \ (backward slash)	_BS_
  | (vertical bar)	_VB_
  ? (question mark)	_QM_
  * (asterisk)	_AS_

• AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access admins and authors have only read permissions on the folder structures above the <Spectrum Project Name> level.
  The AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access managed service organises the higher-level folders.

• As an administrator, you control user access permissions at the <Spectrum Project Name> level.
  These are derived from Spectrum project roles in CONNECT.
