Avoid Duplicating Folders in Projects

When creating projects, Newforma recommends that you avoid adding folders (or any of its subfolders) that have already been added to another Project Center project. Once you add a folder, that folder and all its subfolders are automatically indexed by the Project Center Server. Adding a folder that has already been added to another project will result in additional search indexing overhead. Each project folder gets indexed once by the Project Center Server. However, .DWG files in each folder will get indexed as many times as the number of projects accessing it.

Project folders that are located in remote offices and accessed over a WAN should not be added to a Project Center project. Instead, create a separate project at the remote office for these folders.
