In the Smart Instrumentation Administration module, log on as Domain Administrator in the domain defined for an integrated environment.
-
Click Activities > Custom Fields.
-
Select the plant that you have registered for integration.
-
Select the item type appropriate for the property you want to add.
-
Add the desired property name in the Definition column of a vacant custom field (with field type Char).

Click Apply and then click Close.
-
In the Desktop Client, set your scope for the applicable plant, and then find the CMF file.
-
Right-click the CMF file, and then select Edit > Check Out to display the Check Out dialog.
-
Select OK.
-
In the New Items window, right-click the new version of the CMF file, and select Launch Schema Editor.
-
On the Set Active Configurations dialog, select the schema version that you want to view.For more options, select Advanced.
-
Select OK to set the configuration.
-
The CMF file must be checked in to SmartPlant Foundation before users can publish from an authoring tool.
-
By default, changes to the SmartPlant Schema are written to all versions managed by the CMF file. Although you can choose to write changes to only selected versions, we do not recommend doing so.
If you choose to view one version of the schema (Specify configurations to display window) but write changes to all versions (Set Configurations for new objects window), an information window appears when you select OK, indicating that you will be prompted with every change to the schema to confirm that you want to write the changes to all versions. Select OK to continue.
-
In the Schema Editor, synchronize the authoring tool map schema for which you want to define mapping. For more information, see Synchronize Tool Metadata with the Tool Map Schema.
-
Click File > SmartPlant > Engineering Application Options page, select from the Engineering application/map schema list the schema for the tool that you want to synchronize.
-
Under Startup options, select the Load map schema check box.
For Smart Instrumentation, the software automatically selects the Connect to application schema check box.
-
If desired, select the Automatically synchronize schemas check box.
You can select more than one schema from the Engineering application/map schema list (if available) and specify the startup options. In this case, the software will
load the map schema for each application and perform connection and synchronization
as specified.
-
Click OK to complete the connection.
The Synchronize window opens with all the properties selected by default for synchronizing in the map schema file (located in this example in the path C:\Program Files\SmartPlant\Instrumentation\XML\INtoolsMap.xml).
-
Do one of the following:
-
Leave the properties selected where you want the software to synchronize the map schema file by updating it with the value in the database.
-
Select the properties in the SPI Database column where you want the software to update the database with the current value from the map schema file.
-
-
Click OK to synchronize the data and open the Map Environment window.
-
Expand the SmartPlant Instrumentation node by clicking the
icons.

Under the Map Classes node, scroll down to the IInstrumentUDF map class (the instrument custom field where you created the new properties in Smart Instrumentation) and expand the node to display these properties.
