Creating a Workspace

You can create a workspace in one of two ways:

• Explicitly by means of File > Create Workspace in the Configuring main window

• Implicitly by using the Bringover Create transaction to copy files into a nonexistent child workspace, in which case the child workspace is created and then populated with the files specified as part of the transaction

Using Create Workspace

You can use File > Create Workspace to create new workspaces. Type the name of the new workspace's root (top-level) directory in the Workspace Directory text box and click OK.

If the workspace you are creating already exists as a directory hierarchy, Configuring converts it to a workspace by simply adding the Codemgr_wsdata subdirectory in the root directory and displaying its icon in the Workspace Graph pane.

If the directory does not already exist, Configuring creates both the root directory and the Codemgr_wsdata subdirectory.

Using the Bringover Create Transaction

Use the Bringover Create transaction (on the Transactions menu) to copy files from a parent workspace to a nonexistent child workspace; the child is automatically created as part of the transaction. See "Creating a New Child Workspace (Bringover Create)" for details.

The online help provides further assistance in creating new workspaces. To access the help, choose Help > Help Contents > Starting a Project.
