2. Global level CSB called Substation_CE_Global_Config_Variables.
3. Workset/Project level CSB called Substation_CE_Workset_Link. 


Steps to Accomplish

Create a Predefined level CSB called Substation_CE_Configuration 

This CSB defines the location of the folder in ProjectWise that contains the entire Managed WorkSpace.

1. In ProjectWise Administrator, expand WorkSpaces > Managed then Right-click the Predefined level and select New > Configuration Block.


2. In the New CSB dialog specify the Name of the of the CSB "Substation_CE_Configuration" and specify any Descriptions and select Apply.
