Inherited Environment


Problem Description

User notices that when creating subfolders from Parent folders which not do have an Environment associated with it (value set to "None"), the new folders are  populated with an  Environment.

This happens to all new folders created by any user

 

Steps to Resolve

  1. Open ProjectWise Administrator
  2. Right click on any environment
  3. Select properties and notice the setting named “Common environment”. If this box is checked all new folders inherit this environment. Uncheck this box and a newly created folder will not inherit this environment.
    Note you cannot check this box on multiple environments. The last environment you check will be the one that sticks.
