newby question: How do I use defines in UDS.

In some of my Process Definitions I need to use some strings. I don't want the actual strings scattered throughout my code. Therefor I want to collect them in some place. I have created a Project called Defines that contains nothing but a number of constants (PI icon) of type String.

If I refer to a constant as Defines.SOME_STRING in a Process Definition, I get 'the name Defines is not known'. I guess that I have to include my Defines project as a supplier plan, but Defines does not appear in the list of possible choices. How do I do this?

Or is there another way to collect all my strings in one place? How do people do this in TOOL?

Thanks for your time.
