Protecting your engineering standards

Protect a library category

  1. Open DeltaV Explorer.
  2. Select the library category and select Protect from the context menu.
    Note

    You cannot protect the items that contain categories (Composite Templates, Module Templates, and so on).

  3. Enter and confirm a password.
  4. Click OK.

Items in protected categories cannot be modified, deleted, moved, or overwritten and new items cannot be added to a protected category.

Note

In addition to protecting library items, you can hide the internal structure of some library items (and their instances). The Hide Internal Structure command cannot be applied to an item in a protected category. To hide an item in a protected category, first hide the item and then protect the category to which the item belongs.
