Application Parameters

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

 

Access Mode Shortcuts

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.
