Defining a Workspace Project for Scenario Testing

The workspace project is a container that holds all the other information needed for scenario testing. It also is used to specify the date that will be tested.

This task is a step in Process of Testing Products with Scenario Tester.

To define a workspace project for the scenario

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the Workspace Projects view.
2. In the Workspace Projects list, add a new record and complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Name	Enter a name for the scenario.
   Effective Start Date	Enter the date that is used to set the Start Date of the versions released from the Workspace Project. This value is also the date that the application uses to determine what versions must be exported for dependent items when the user chooses to export the full structure of the items in the Workspace Project.
   Base Date	Enter the date for the test. All the Quotes, Orders, and other scenarios that you create will be tested using the released versions, pricing, eligibility, compatibility, recommendations, promotions, and other specifications effective on this date. If this date is entered, it is used as the date for dependent items for full structure export. If both Effective Starting Date and Base Date are filled, Base Date is used, as long as the data is not in the workspace itself.
   Use Project	Select this checkbox to enter test mode. For more information about test mode and normal mode, see Administering Data in Test Mode. You must select this checkbox to display test quotes and other test documents in the Scenarios view. If you uncheck it, these test documents will disappear from Scenarios view. When you select this check box, the application uses the items in the Workspace Project as if they are currently active. The Scenario Tester uses the workspaces of the items in the Workspace Project as the active versions, allowing the user to test them without releasing them. Selecting this check box makes the Workspace Project active only for the duration of the session for the current login. The user can select this check box to associate items in the Workspace project with one another without having to release them. If the user exports data, if the Use Projects flag is set, the objects in this workspace are exported. This field controls whether test documents are visible to the user. When it is selected, the test documents become visible. When not, the documents are not visible.
