The PlugIns Element

The PlugIns element within the FrameworkSettings element lists the plug-in components that are currently being used by ALIM Web. Plug-ins are automatically added or removed from this list when you turn plug-ins on or off through the Functionality tab of the ALIM Web Application Manager dialog. For details, see Configuring a New or Existing AssetWise ALIM Web Virtual Directory.

CAUTION: The only time you need to edit this list in web.config is when you need to add a custom plug-in. Otherwise, do not edit this element without consulting Bentley support, as unexpected loss of functionality can result.

assembly	Name of the assembly (required)	The name of the assembly in the deployed virtual directory's bin folder (for example, C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AssetWise\bin) that contains the code for the plug-in.
