&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;CONNECT Edition&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Version(s):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;10.03+&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Environment:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;N/A&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;td style="text-align:right;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Area:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Subarea:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;N/A&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the CONNECT Edition, the software utilizes the native Power Platform configuration system to locate the dataset, connect to the project database, and specify various default settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: Power Platform is the MicroStation core application that underlies the CONNECT Edition product.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the specific configuration files that are used to configure the software. It explains the configuration hierarchy and identifies the location of key configuration files and what application configuration variables are set within those files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Configuration Hierarchy&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The configuration system is comprised of various configuration files which are organized in a hierarchy. When the software is started, it loads the configuration files in accordance with the hierarchy in the following order:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;System&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Organization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Workspace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;WorkSet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Role&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;User&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: If any given variable is set in multiple configuration files at different levels of the hierarchy, the value set in the last loaded file will override the previously set values.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Configuration Files&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a default installation of the software,&amp;nbsp;Bentley Substation&amp;nbsp;deploys&amp;nbsp;two workspaces entitled, &amp;ldquo;&lt;span&gt;Substation ANSI-IEEE Example&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Substation IEC Example&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;rdquo; The&amp;nbsp;Substation Configuration Variables are defined in configuration files named, &amp;ldquo;Substation.cfg&amp;rdquo; which are located at the Workspace and WorkSet levels of the configuration hierarchy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Workspace Configuration File&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The application Workspace configuration file is found here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip;\ Configuration \ WorkSpaces \ &lt;span&gt;Substation ANSI-IEEE Example&lt;/span&gt;\ Standards \ Substation \ Substation.cfg&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;hellip;\ Configuration \ WorkSpaces \ &lt;span&gt;Substation IEC Example&lt;/span&gt;\ Standards \ Substation \ Substation.cfg&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At a high level, this configuration file loads the following information:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Databases (parts database, multi-language.mdb)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Catalogs (symbols/macros/families)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Profiles (Device ID formats, Wire Tag formats, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Templates (Reports, Graphical Plans, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This configuration file makes use of the following&amp;nbsp;Substation configuration variables:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_DRAWING_STANDARD&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_WORKSETSTANDARDS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_WORKSETDGNS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_PARTS_DB_MAPPING_PATH&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_LANGUAGE_DB_PATH&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_SYSTEM_OPTION_PROFILE&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_USER_OPTION_PROFILE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_PRJ_PROFILE_DIR&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_PAGE_FORMAT_DIR&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_TEMPLATES_GRAPHICPLAN_DIR&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_TEMPLATES_PAGE_DIR&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_TEMPLATES_REPORT_DIR&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_CATALOG_PATH&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_ACTIVEPARTSDATABASE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_PROJECT_OPTION_PROFILE&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_SHOW_PWCHECKIN_DIALOG&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_DEFAULT_PROJECT_DIR&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ELEC_ENABLE_MANAGED_CONFIGURATION&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Additional variables that are used exclusively&amp;nbsp;for a&amp;nbsp;ProjectWise Managed WorkSpace are also found here.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For details on the purpose of each of these variables please refer to the &lt;a title="Configuration Variables " href="/products/electrical___instrumentation/w/electrical_and_instrumentation__wiki/41394/configuration-variables---bentley-substation-v10-03" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Configuration Variables &lt;/a&gt;article.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;WorkSet Configuration File&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The application WorkSet configuration file is found here:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Substation ANSI-IEEE Example\Worksets\Substation_Sample_ANSI-IEEE\Standards\Substation\Substation.cfg&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...\Configuration\WorkSpaces\Substation IEC Example\Worksets\Substation_Sample_IEC\Standards\Substation\Substation.cfg&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The default WorkSet configuration files provided with the software do not set any&amp;nbsp;Substation specific variables since they are set at the WorkSpace level.&amp;nbsp; If you want to override any configuration settings at the WorkSpace level you may specify&amp;nbsp;Substation configuration variables in this file and set the desired values for them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a list of the configuration variables refer to the &lt;a title="Configuration Variables " href="/products/electrical___instrumentation/w/electrical_and_instrumentation__wiki/41394/configuration-variables---bentley-substation-v10-03" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Configuration Variables &lt;/a&gt;article.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
