Thinkstore introduction

Introduction to the Thinkstore​

The Thinkstore is a fully integrated way for downloading and installing ready-made solutions directly into your models right from the Thinkwise IDE (integrated development environment). It contains a collection of scripts and samples to help you get the most out of the Thinkwise Platform.

The Thinkstore only contains solutions specifically for the Software Factory version you are using. Therefore, the Thinkstore will be cleared before every platform upgrade. Once upgraded and opening the Thinkstore in the new Software Factory version, it will initiate a refresh and retrieve all available solutions for that version.
