Introduction to Solution Settings and Tools
The Solution section in the Designer workspace gathers detailed information about solutions, offering rich metadata and various tools to aid in designing and individually managing solutions on the software platform. It includes Solution Settings for configuration, Solution Categories for organization, Import Tags and Import Plugins for to accelerate solutions creatingsolution creation, Export for sharing configurations, and History for tracking keys key actions on in the solution configuration.

Key Concepts and Terms
The Solutions section holds key global settings, such as Target Platform, and a set of tools to allow Import and Export configurations.
TargetPlatform
Defines the Operating Platform where the Solution is intended to Runrun. It can be Windows Only (.NET Framework 4.8), or Multiplatform (Linux and any OS support .NET 8.)
Product Family and Model
Define the Licensing Requirement for licensing requirements to run the Solution solution in Productionproduction. Even though the Designer is unlimited, you should always setup set up those fields properly , so that the Designer will limit its functionality consistent with the License license required for field deployment.
Categories
Metadata labels that can be used across all configuration tables, assisting to organize large size applicationin organizing large-scale applications.
Plugins
Excerpts Subsets of a Solutionsolution, it which can holds Tags, Displays, or any other objects. Useful to create creating reusable components and enforce enforcing development standards.
Understanding The Solution
SectionModule Usage
The solution section Solution Module is typically used only when a new Solution is created.
Usually, it is important to double check if the Target Platform, Product Family and Model, are correctly setup. When using Python, its necessary also to locate property the path for the Python engine.
For large solutions, defining the Categories at the begging will prove useful to organize your configuration.
If you have Tag tag definitions available on other systems, you can bring them with the Tag Import Wizards, which covers support importing from CSV files to , ControlLogix devices, and various other options.
Finally, if you have PlugIns created by your own team , or received from integrators, they can be added in this section to speed up the solution development.
The Plugins are created with the Solution Export user Interface.
When you do perform any of those actionthese actions, the Solution History tracks that the event.
Configuring Solution Settings and Categories
Go to Solution - Settings for animation on the settings available.
Go to Solutions - Categories to learn how to define and use Categories.
Working with Import and Export Tools
Go to Solution - Import Tags on on how Import Tag definitions from other systems.
Go to Solution - Import PlugIns on on how Import PlugIns into the solution.
Go to Solutions - Export on how to backup the solution, or create PlugIns
Temporary Data Folders
When editing and running the solution, temporary sub-folders are created under a Solutions-Data folder.
In most cases, it's not necessary to have any direct interaction with these folders, other than knowing they don't store solution configuration — only user UI settings and temporary files. Therefore, they can be deleted at any time if necessary.
