Adding and mapping page level variables with ProjectWise integration is relatively straightforward. But what happens if we want to add project level variables? This can be achieved but using the ProjectWise Class Editor.
Start the ProjectWise Class Editor, which is typically found in the start menu:
Start > Bentley > Project Wise v8i (SELECT Series X) > Administrative tools > ProjectWise Class Editor
If it cannot be found, use a computer that has ProjectWise Administrator installed.
In the Class Editor locate and select Classes > PWProject > Electrical
In the right hand pane, locate the Attributes tab. Click on the Star Icon to create a New Attribute:
The Name for the New Attribute should start with PROJECT_, PROJECT_MyProjectAttribute is a valid name. Continuing with PROJECT_MyProjectAttribute as our new attribute fill in the following: Description for the Attribute: PROJECT_MyProjectAttribute Label for the Attribute: MyProjectAttributeAfter that is filled in click Next. For the type of attribute, use DB-Table, click Next.Column Name: PROJECT_MyProjectAttributeData Type: Most cases will be StringLength: Most cases will be 255
Then click Next.
Then click Finish.
Once these steps are taken, You can map this new project level variable using Options > Project Options > ProjectWise Attribute Mapping in Bentley Substation or promis•e.
