FME Form Help Map
Product documentation is accessed from any FME component Help menu.
By default, documentation is live (online); however, you can also choose to use installed (offline) documentation. From the menu, select FME Options > Default Paths > Documentation Help Locations.
FME Form documentation includes:
| Documentation | Description |
|---|---|
| FME Workbench | This is the primary FME Form application for translating and transforming data. |
| FME Data Inspector | View data in any FME-supported format. Use the FME Data Inspector to preview data before translation, verify it after translation, and check data at any point during a translation. |
| FME Readers and Writers | This is a technical reference to the 300+ spatial and non-spatial data formats that FME Workbench is capable of reading and writing. It also includes format parameters that are visible in FME Workbench. |
| FME Transformers | This is a comprehensive reference to the 400+ FME transformers. Transformers are used in FME Workbench to perform geometric and attribute restructuring of features during a translation. |
| FME Coordinate Systems | This is a guide to associating coordinate systems with features in FME Form. |
| FME Quick Translator | Although we highly recommend using FME Workbench for translations, the FME Quick Translator (a lightweight alternative) allows you to perform fast and easy data conversions. |
Note: Especially for advanced operations, you may have to look in different help files to get the information you need, or search FME Community for solutions.
