This section covers information about using off-site projects with Smart Electrical. Off-site projects are used for performing plant engineering activities at distributed locations, typically at an EPC’s location. During project execution at the EPC’s location, work can continue at the owner’s location. At any stage of the project, you can merge back to the owner’s location all or some of the changes made in the EPC. Integration activities are performed in the owner’s As-Built only.
-
The function of an off-site plant in Smart Electrical parallels that of a standalone Workshare satellite in Smart P&ID, and therefore the terms 'satellite' and 'off-site plant' may sometimes be used interchangeably; however, it is important to realize that the implementation is different in the two applications.
-
Publish, Retrieve and other SmartPlant menu items are only available in the As-Built, not in the projects.
-
You must first claim items in projects in order to modify them. The As-Built does not claim items to edit them.
-
As-Built editing will be enabled according to As-Built access rights.
