The following graphic provides an overview of the work process for mapping new objects when you start inside the authoring tool. The graphic covers the work process for adding and mapping objects that do not already exist in the tool database, tool map schema, or SmartPlant schema. If the object already exists in the tool map schema or the SmartPlant schema, you can skip the steps that involve adding new objects in the work process.
This approach is most useful when you have existing metadata in the authoring tool that needs to be entered in the SmartPlant schema and mapped. We recommend starting in the authoring tool when you define new properties so that the property definition fits into the authoring tool's data model appropriately.
