Add or Rename Storage Names

Scenario
By default, Desigo CC provides 16 standard storage repositories. Depending on the project, this number may be insufficient. In such situations, you may want to create new storage repositories (up to 32), for which the text group HDB Archive Group Names must be expanded. However, the new storage must be created in the SMC.

The names of these storage repositories can be changed according to the requirements of the project.
