Project - Project-specific material is defined at the project level.

Data defined in a project will not be available on the product group level or in any other project.
-
Discipline – Disciplines are used to separate materials into different project areas like Piping, Electrical, and Structural.
All the modules are available on the Home screen.

For data protection and consistency while working with multiple tabs of a browser,
it is recommended to clone your session instead of duplicating tabs. In case of duplication,
Smart Materials requires you to refresh the page and a forced refresh message is displayed.
The Smart Materials application loads the latest content when you:
-
refresh the page
-
switch between tabs
-
cancel/close the message
Smart Materials does not support duplication within the same module but supports duplication across modules. It is always recommended to use cloning instead of duplicating a tab.
Opening the login page from a parallel tab will end all other sessions in all tabs of the same browser. The same applies if pressing Logout in the application.
