To add a reference project to project
-
From the navigation pane on the AVEVA Unified Engineering - Spectrum Administration homepage, select the Project icon to display the Projects page.

-
Select the project name, for example, Plant Sample to display its Project: Plant Sample page.

-
Select Add Reference Projects.
The Add Reference Projects side sheet is displayed on the right side of the window.

-
Select inside the Projects text field.
The drop-down menu appears and shows a list of available reference projects.
-
(Optional) You can type the first letters of the reference project name to display it in the drop-down menu:

-
Select the name of the reference project(s) you want to add. You can make multiple selections.
Selected names get converted into chips, and the Add button becomes available.

Note: If, for example, Project 1 uses code ABC, it cannot reference any other projects with code ABC. It could reference Project 2 with code XYZ, but once it does, it cannot reference any other project with code XYZ.
-
Select Add.
The Catalog Sample project is added as reference project to Plant Sample.

Important: To use AVEVA Unified Engineering with the project along with added reference projects, you must ensure that the project and every project it references are on the same Edge Connector.
