Starting WDMap

WDMap can be started:

from a data file (double-click a ".FIC" file),
by selecting "Edit .. Edit the data file with WDMap" from the data model editor, from the data model editor: on the "Analysis" pane, in the "File" group, click "Edit with WDMap",
by selecting "Tools .. WDMAP - Mini data editor", from the ribbon: on the "Tools" pane, in the "Database" group, click "WDMap",
by running "WDMAP.EXE" directly.

Note: If WDMap is started from the data model editor:

The physical file corresponding to the description of the selected data file will be created if necessary.
To take into account the modifications performed on the description of the data file, we advise you to generate the analysis before viewing the content of the data file.

Use conditions

WDMap cannot be redistributed. WDMap cannot be installed with the applications developed with WINDEV or WEBDEV.

To use WDMap, WINDEV or WEBDEV must necessarily be installed on the computer.

Features of WDMap

The different operations that can be performed by WDMap are as follows:

Note: Depending on how WDMap was started, the operating mode of each operation may change.

Notes

WDMap can be used to view a single file at a time.
If the analysis is password protected (runtime password defined in the analysis description), this password is requested when the analysis is selected in WDMap.
If the data file is password protected (password defined by HPass, HCreation or HCreationIfNotFound, or during the automatic data modification), this password will be requested when the physical file is selected in WDMap.
You have the ability to view the data found in a HFSQL Client/Server data file: for example, if the analysis files are defined as being in Client/Server mode, with a connection, the option "Edit the data file with WDMAP" opens the data file of the server according to the specified connection.
