In PCE, the layer that contains the feature can be a Panel layer or a Project Review layer, but the product must belong in the same schema as the publication.

In SE, the layer that contains the feature can be from a usage layer or a Project Review layer, but the project must have a chart that is in the same schema as the publication.
