Add an application

To organize project information and make it available to all products in a
FactoryTalk
 system, add an application. Add elements such as servers (data servers, HMI servers, and alarm and event servers) and areas to the application. A
FactoryTalk
 network directory can manage any number of separate network applications. A
FactoryTalk
 local directory can manage any number of separate local applications.
Prerequisites
Adding applications requires these permissions:
  • Common > Create Children
