For starting up application development two WAMmodels are provided by the WAM Installer.

A Default WAMmodel for a database contains records that specify the following:

• One list and row for each table and view
• All lists have one or two pre-configured columns, selected using a WAM heuristic based on database meta information
• A lookup and a stand-alone detail list for each foreign key
• An entry page allowing navigation to all lists, plus a few WAMFinders providing navigation to primary key values, as determined by an heuristic based on the foreign key graph

To see what a default WAMmodel gets you try the Northwind sample in the showroom, a single-click/code free working front-end.

An empty WAMmodel has no information specific to the database it is stored in; its tables will have zero records except for WAM_PRESENTATION, which will contain the WAM generic error messages.
