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
-
Under 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 resides.
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 two Spectrum solutions to an AVEVA™ Unified Engineering – Browser Access environment:
|
CONNECT Account: Example Industries |
|
|
CONNECT Folder where Spectrum Solution enabled |
Spectrum Project Name |
|
\Example Industries |
Alpha Catalog |
|
Alpha Project |
|
|
\Example Industries\Wind Farms\Europe |
EUFarm1 Project |
|
EUFarm2 Project |
|
|
EUFarms Catalog |
|

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 (e.g. >).
To cater for this, the file system folder characters are translated (e.g. _GT_). -
Admins and authors have only read permissions on the folder structures above the <Spectrum Project Name> level.
-
Your administrator controls user access permissions at the <Spectrum Project Name> level.
These are derived from Spectrum project roles in CONNECT.
