Open a Database

If you had an open database at the end of your last InfoWorks ICM session, the same database will be open the next time you run InfoWorks ICM

InfoWorks ICM remembers the last 10 most recently opened databases and the associated Local Folders of each database.

In the list, standard workgroup and standalone database names are preceded by their database path e.g. snumbat://localhost:40000/Database_Name (workgroup) and C:/Users/Innovyze/Database_Name (standalone).

Cloud databases have a cloud preface and are identified by their database name, their tenant and the region the tenant is located in e.g. cloud://Database_Name@Tennant_Name/namer

Note: If InfoWorks ICM cannot find a cloud database that is included in the list, it may be because the database has been deleted or renamed since it was last opened.
