Location of data files
This option allows you to specify the physical location of the data files used by the Project Management Hub and by the different Control Centers provided with WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile. Indeed, the different Control Centers share the same database.
You have the ability to use one of the following databases:
  • HFSQL Classic.
  • HFSQL Client/Server.
  • on a PCSCloud platform (paid solution). For more details on PCSCloud, see Cloud for HFSQL databases.
  • an SCMDrive database (paid solution). For more details on PCSCloud, see SCMDrive.
For more details on the use of an HFSQL Client/Server database, see Using the Control Centers in HFSQL Client/Server mode.
Time management help
The Project Management Hub allows you to configure and enable time management help. For more details, see Time management.
To enable the time management help, select "Enable time management help". All the options specific to time management become available:
  • Change of tasks: The default behavior used when changing the current task can be configured. You can either automatically lock the task that was the current task, or ask a question.

    • on a regular basis (every 60 minutes by default)
    • after an idle period: keyboard or mouse not used for example (10 minutes by default)
    If no confirmation of the current task is performed, the "task wheel" is displayed. This task wheel allows you to select the current task: interruption task or other task.
    "Ask for confirmation each time a project is opened" is also used to request a confirmation of the current task each time a project is opened in WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile. This option is useful when several tasks are linked to projects, windows, ...
  • Options of the task wheel: List of interruption tasks that currently exist. These tasks are entered in the Project Management Hub. Only the first eight interrupting tasks will be displayed in the task wheel.
