Personal Web Edition (DriveWorks Documentation)

Personal Web Edition

Personal Web Edition (PWE) is a feature of DriveWorks that provides local access to show you what projects will look like when they are accessed over the Internet.

When Personal Web Edition is started the machines default web browser will be launched with the Web Theme loaded (until the theme is changed).

To Start Personal Web Edition

Start Personal Web Edition from DriveWorks Administrator or DriveWorks User.

Open the group that contains the project to be specified through Personal Web Edition.

Click Stage (n). Specification> Personal Web Edition and:

Stage (n)

The Stage number will change depending on the application and when a project is open.

This becomes:

1 in DriveWorks User
2 in DriveWorks Administrator (no project open)
6 in DriveWorks Administrator (project open)

Click the Start button on the Command Bar to open your default web browser.
Log into the relevant Group using your group login credentials.
Select the Project from the project list.

The project can now be specified in the same way as it would be in the Specification Explorer.

Changes made to a project while PWE is running will appear when the current specification is cancelled and then restarted.

PWE doesn't need be stopped and restarted to show any changes.

Ensure any changes made are saved in DriveWorks Administrator.

Previous specifications can be found by selecting History in PWE.

Only one session of PWE can be running at a time.

Application Theme
DriveWorks 22 SP0
DriveWorks 21 delivered a major update to DriveWorks' Forms Technology.
This has been a major body of work for our Development Team, re-architecting the underlying code. We of course wanted to maintain the quality you expect from us.
To get the latest version of DriveWorks into your hands now, we have prioritized the Integration Theme and Web Theme over the Application Theme. This means the Application Theme is not available.
We are continuing to work very hard on releasing the Application Theme in the near future, for more information, please check our knowledge base article: Info: Web Theme And Application Theme For DriveWorks 21.
