Application parameters can be used to specify:
•a project to load when waterRIDE is opened
•the access mode
Loading a Specific project on Startup
A project can be loaded by adding the project name as a parameter to the shortcut. This may be included in the windows shortcut itself, or in a batch file or command line parameter.The full path to the project file should be specified. However, if Enterprise mode is being used, a project in the Central Projects List can be opened by just passing it's project name. The project file name/path must be the first parameter after the EXE file. Note that quotes "" must be used if the path/filename includes spaces (in fact, it's easiest to just use quotes regardless of spaces).
Examples
The following examples will all load a project called "demo project.vmmap". Note that those projects without full paths must have the project in the central projects list.
c:\program files (x86)\waterRIDE\wR_FLOOD\wR_FLOOD.exe "c:\demo\demo project.vmmap"
c:\program files (x86)\waterRIDE\wR_FLOOD\wR_FLOOD.exe "demo project.vmmap"
c:\program files (x86)\waterRIDE\wR_FLOOD\wR_FLOOD.exe "demo project"
You can include the above in the Target field of a Windows shortcut
When starting waterRIDE, you will be presented with the Access Mode selection form. You can use application shortcuts with the following parameters to open directly in a specific mode (provided licenses are available):
/MANAGER
/VIEWER
/DATAMANAGER
For example, c:\program files (x86)\waterRIDE\wR_FLOOD\wR_FLOOD.exe /MANAGER would open waterRIDE in Manager mode.
