When you open a planning area or group in the Planning Schematic, you have the option of running SCADA. This allows you to view the Alarm List or open a SCADA Connect screen to view network objects.

See the [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCDT](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCDT) space for more details of working with SCADAConnect Desktop features.

When SCADA Connect is launched, it uses an *Application Runtime Parameter* to determine the launch options such as what screens are loaded, and what application options are available.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Application runtime parameters are created and configured in the SCADA Connect Forms [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CFGNC/pages/2001012766](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CFGNC/pages/2001012766).

If you want to display SCADA screens for sites from a planning group or area that is loaded in the Planning Schematic, you must specify what application settings to use. To do this, you must create a relationship between the planning area or planning group, and the appropriate application runtime parameter. In DMS/IPMG2, you can do this, for example, in the **Planning Areas** module or in the **Groups** module.

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If you have not created such a relationship, the SCADA option may not be available, or SCADA Connect may open with only default screens available.

**To configure a planning area or group for viewing SCADA screens**

1. Open the DMS Planning Areas module or the Groups module and select the area or group that you want to configure.
2. On the Relations tab, click **Insert**.
3. Select **Super Object**.
4. Select a **Relation Type** of *SCADA*.
5. In the Sub Object field, click  Find and search for objects of the type Application runtime parameters.
6. Select the runtime parameter that you want to use
7. Click **Save** to save your changes.
