Creating New Workspaces

This topic describes how to create new Workspaces. When creating a new Workspace, note the following:

• By default, newly recreated Workspace are 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.

• Workspace names can only contain lower case alphabetic, numeric, hyphen, full stop or period, 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 in using user name admin1, the Workspace name must be dev_admin1_<myWorkspace> 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 System Preference.

To create a new Workspace

1. In the Workspace Dashboard, click Create on the Workspace Toolbar.

   Note: Click the Workspace (or cube) icon on the application banner to open the Workspace Dashboard, if not already open, in Web Tools.

2. In the Create Workspace dialog that opens, enter the Workspace name in the Name field and a comment in the Comment field.

3. Click Create Workspace.

   In the Workspace Explorer, the newly created Workspace with the name that you entered is listed under the MAIN Workspace.
