Workspace is the most basic operating environment in the Data organization structure . Data Processing, data analysis, 2D/3D map creation and other operations can be performed in Workspace; data organization and management can also be performed, including opening, closing, creating and saving Workspace files.
Works paceContaining data sources, maps, layouts, scenes, diagrams, models, Video Maps, atlases, large screens, and resources.
Storage structure for Workspace
All of Workspace's organizational structures, with the exception of Datasource, are stored in Workspace. What is stored is the map, layout, scene, etc. Created and saved by the user using the data in Datasource; the content in the resource is the default symbol library of Workspace.
Datasource is associated with an external data file and stores the Datasource Related information, while the Datasource itself is stored in an external database or an external Datasource file. Therefore, when deleting Workspace, only the Related information between Workspace and the external Datasource is deleted, and the external Datasource is not affected. Datasource collections can seamlessly manage multiple types of Datasources from multiple sources.
Take Workspace (Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River.smwu) in Sample Data SampleData _ CHS as an example: Datasource in Workspace is the Related File of external *.udbx (Battle of Crossing the Yangtze River.udbx) Datasource; Maps, layouts, scenes, diagrams, models, Video Maps, atlases, large screens, and resources are saved in Workspace. As shown in the following figure:

Types of Works pace
- File Works pace : It is stored in the form of a file. The file formats include *.smwu, and *.sxwu. Only one Workspace is stored in each Workspace file.
- Database Workspace: Save Workspace in the database, Database Workspaces that currently support opening include SQLPlus, OraclePlus, MySQL, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, MongoDB, and DMPlus Database Workspaces.
Caution: - *.smwu is the Default file for SuperMap Deskpro 6R and series products; *.sxwu is an XML formatted Workspace file provided by the 6R and 7C series of products and can be saved as a *.sxwu Workspace file through the Save As feature. After opening the Workspace file in *.sxwu format with Notepad, you can easily get the information in the Workspace, such as Datasource, map, resource file, etc., so that you can use these information to set the style settings in other Workspaces, especially in maps.
- Both SuperMap Deskpro 6R and the family support opening *.smwu, *.sxwu, *.smw, and *.sxw Workspace files. SuperMap Deskpro 6R series products support saving Workspace in *.smwu, *.sxwu, *.smw, and *.sxw file formats; series products support saving Workspace in *.smwu, *.sxwu file formats.
- If the opened Workspace is *.smw and *.sxw, the operation corresponding to the new function of the serial product cannot be saved, such as composite Thematic Label Map. Workspace can only be saved as SuperMap UGC version 6.0 or 7.0 through Save As to save the operations corresponding to the new features of the product.
- *.smw is the Default file for the SuperMap GIS 6 series and earlier, and *.sxw is the corresponding Workspace file in XML format.
- The SuperMap GIS 6 family and earlier do not support opening or saving Workspace files in the *.smwu and *.sxwu formats.
- Database Workspace related operations require the installation of database programs, such as PostGIS user guide .
