A Plant Project consists of the complete collection of information which relates to a single design project. The project is identified by a name, allocated by the Project Administrator when the project is first initiated. The project name is used to identify the project to the system whenever the user wants to work in the project using Plant which allows access rights and use of system resources to be monitored and controlled. Refer to AVEVA E3D™ Project Structure and Access Rights for further information of these functions,

(Refer to AVEVA E3D™ Databases for further information on Reference databases).

Each Plant module requires access to one or more specific database types, and entry to the module may be prevented if appropriate databases do not exist or if the user does not have the appropriate access rights. New databases can only be created by the Project Administrator. Refer to Creating the Main Admin Elements for further information.
