What is the high-level workflow for graphics in the Metasys UI and JCT?

Creating or editing graphics in the JCT or SCT and syncing with the Metasys UI

When you create or edit a Metasys UI graphic in the Graphics Editor or you assign a Metasys UI graphic to a space, equipment, or Equipment Definition in the Graphics Manager in the JCT, you must perform a download in SCT to edit or view the graphic in the Metasys UI.

When you assign a supported legacy graphic to a Space or Equipment in the Graphics Manager in the JCT, you must perform a download in SCT to view the graphic or edit its associations in the Metasys UI.

When you assign a supported legacy graphic to a Space or Equipment in SCT, you can view the legacy graphic in the JCT Graphics widget with no action required. However, to view the legacy graphic or edit its associations in the Metasys UI, you must perform a download in SCT.

Creating or editing graphics in the Metasys UI and syncing with the JCT and SCT Archive

When you create or edit a Metasys UI graphic in the Graphics Editor or you assign a Metasys UI graphic to a space, equipment, or Equipment Definition in the Graphics Manager in the Metasys UI, you must perform an upload of your Site Director to your archive to edit or view the graphic in the JCT.

Note: To ensure that graphics created in Metasys UI are displayed in JCT, click or tap Refresh All Archives in the user menu in JCT, after you perform an upload of your Site Director to your archive. See How do I refresh the archive I am currently working on? How do I update the archive with the changes recently made? for details about refreshing an archive.

When you assign a supported legacy graphic to a Space or Equipment in the Graphics Manager in the Metasys UI, you must perform an upload of your Site Director to your archive to view the graphic or edit its associations in the JCT.
