Managing Products Using Workspace Projects

You can also use the Workspace Projects view to manage objects and create relations among them, without having to release them.

To manage objects using Workspace Projects view, perform the tasks in the following high-level process:

• Create any new objects you need in the appropriate views for each object.

  For example, create products in the Administration - Products, Products view, product classes in the Administration - Products, Product Classes view, and so on.

• Navigate to the Administration - Products, Workspace Projects view and add a new record to the Workspace Projects list.
• In the Administration - Products, Workspace Projects, Contents view, create new records and add all these objects to this Workspace Project.
• In the Workspace Project record, select the Use Project check box.

  Selecting this check box activates the Workspace Project and makes the workspaces of these objects visible to each other for the duration of the session, even though they have not been released.

• Drill down on the item in the Contents list, and associate the objects to each other, as needed.

  After drilling down on them, they appear in the usual views you use to work with them, and you can associate them in the usual ways.

• Test the objects using Scenario Tester, as described in Process of Testing Products with Scenario Tester.

  NOTE:  For objects explicitly listed in the active Workspace Project, workspace are used. For all other objects, the released versions active on the test date are used as needed.

• Release the objects together using Workspace Projects, or release the objects individually, as needed.
