When creating a new schema in the Geospatial Administrator, you have the option of showing two directory variables or the full path of the directory the variables point to.
The variables are described as:
%_USTN_WORKSPACESROOT% points to workspace root folder which is typically .../ProgramData/Bentley/Map CONNECT Edition/Configuration/Workspaces/
When Tools > Options > Expand Variables is OFF, the variable will be visible in the Workspaces Root Directory:
When Tools > Options > Expand Variables is ON, the full path of the folder defined by this variable will be shown:
%BaseSourceDir% which points to .../Configuration/WorkSpaces/MapDefaults/ and defines the location of your workset source files.
Note: When you save a new project XML file, it will either save the variable or the full path. This is determined by the state of the Expand Variable option.
Note: Changing the Expand Variable option on existing projects will only change the display of the Workspaces Root Directory and Base Source Dir fields in the Geospatial Administrator. To write those changes to the XML file, do a File > Save As.
