When you installed and configured Smart Construction, several administrative files were loaded into SmartPlant Foundation to help configure Smart Construction. The administrative load files enabled the ability for system administrators to select a view application for file types.
You must have the correct security privileges to create, edit, and configure file types. Contact your SmartPlant Foundation system administrator for more information.
