Project Databases
Staffmap project databases hold all the information necessary for floors, desks and other assets, staff, reports, security groups, etc. that make up the project.
Note - Only make changes to Staffmap project databases if you are familiar with working in web application databases already. Direct modifications to the database are not technically supported.
StaffMap uses SQL Server Compact 4.0 databases. These file-based databases can be accessed by a number of different programs but we recommend using Microsoft Visual Studio.
- SqlCe40Toolbox | http://staffmap.com/download/SqlCe40Toolbox.exe
- Install SQL Server Compact Edition Runtime | http://staffmap.com/download/SSCERuntime_x64-ENU.exe
- You can also use CompactView (requires a .NET framework version 4.0 or higher).
