What is an SMW file?

SMW files mostly belong to SmetaWIZARD. The SMW file extension is used in several distinct areas. In one major use case, these files are SmetaWIZARD documents. They follow the Microsoft Compound format and serve as a Russian document format, similar to Lotus WordPro SmartMaster Documents.
Another use case is for Crestron Simpl+ programs. These files contain code for control systems and automation tasks. For more details, visit Crestron.
A further variant is seen in MicroStrategy Workflow Metadata files. These Java-based files store metadata for BI workflows and are managed with MicroStrategy Workstation; more information is available at MicroStrategy.
