Bentley View Help

Integration Overview

When Bentley View is integrated with ProjectWise Explorer, you can browse, open, and review (from within Bentley View) the documents and component data managed in a ProjectWise datasource.

If you have ProjectWise Explorer installed on your computer when you start Bentley View, it is automatically integrated with ProjectWise. If this is your preference, in the ProjectWise Log in dialog that opens when you start Bentley View, select the datasource and type your user name and password. If you do not want ProjectWise integration, in the ProjectWise Log in dialog, click Cancel. In this case, the application File Open dialog opens instead of the ProjectWise File Open dialog.

You will know that ProjectWise integration is enabled if you see the ProjectWise Log in dialog when you launch the application, prompting you to select a ProjectWise datasource before you are prompted to select a file to open. If the ProjectWise Log in dialog does not open, then ProjectWise Explorer is not installed and integrated.
