WinDev, WebDev and WinDev Mobile offer, with the use of the SCM, interaction with the “Project Monitoring Center” and the “Quality and Version Monitoring Center”.

When you check in an element into the SCM, the SCM will by default associate the text and the identifier of the current task, and/or a bug correction to the changes. The development record is automatically filled in, without the risk of forgetting, and without the need to perform any particular action.

You will find more details on this feature in the online help under “Check in, An element (SCM)”.

WinDev and WebDev offer the translation of item names.

If the end user wants to create his own reports and queries, he has to use the file and item names used in the analysis.
These names are generally in English! That’s not very practical for Chinese or Romanian users.
You can indicate in the data file description a translation for the file name and the item names, just as you can do it for the controls in the user interface.
