Creating New Workspaces

This topic describes how to create new workspaces.

To create a new workspace

1. In Siebel Tools, select the Workspace menu and then select the Create option.

   The Create Workspace dialog box appears.

2. Enter the workspace name in the Enter Workspace Name field.

   Workspace names can only contain lower case alphabetic, numeric, hyphen, and underscore characters. Also, workspace names must start with the value that is set for Workspace Prefix in the System Preferences, appended by _<login userid>_.

   For example, if you log into Siebel Tools using user name sadmin, the workspace name must be dev_sadmin where dev is the value set for the Workspace Prefix system preference. For more information on how to add Workspace Prefix in system preferences, see Adding the Workspace Prefix in System Preferences.

3. Note the values in the Parent Workspace and Parent Workspace Version fields.

   By default, the newly recreated workspace is always branched out from the latest version of the MAIN workspace; therefore, the Parent Workspace field is populated with the value MAIN and the Parent Workspace Version field is populated with the latest check-pointed version of the MAIN workspace.

4. (Optional) Use the Parent Workspace Version drop-down list to select a previous version to branch out from the previous versions of the MAIN workspace.
5. Enter the description for the workspace in the Add Description field.
6. Click the OK button and note that:
   • In the Workspaces pane, the newly created workspace is listed under the MAIN workspace.
   • In the View Mode list, the status of the workspace is updated to Created.
   • The title bar text in Siebel Tools is updated using this format:

   Siebel Tools - Siebel Repository -[<workspace name>/0] - Editable -

   For example:

   Siebel Tools - Siebel Repository -[dev_sadmin_test/0] - Editable -
