Keeping Your Data Organised
The WinCan VX project folder structure for HADDMS projects is no different than for any other VX project and has a lot of folders and sub-folders which are used by the system.

Data Exchange – this is where all Export data sets and files are saved from WinCan VX in all territories and standards, so when you get to the very end of the HADDMS data consolidation process and you are ready to export the data to shapefiles for delivery to the client (see section Creating Exports for Delivery), this is where they will be saved in a date and time stamped folder, so that repeated exports do not overwrite each other.
Module - this is a common folder for all WinCan 3rd party application data and is completely synchronised with WinCan Web
