Creating Workspaces

To create a workspace, follow these steps:

1. Select a table.
2. Define the fields to include in the workspace.

Note: For details on defining fields, see Analyzer Concepts.

3. In the Overview, right-click the Analyzer project title or a project folder and select “New”.
4. Analyzer creates a “New_Workspace” in the Overview and highlights it. Enter a meaningful name and click the [Enter] key.
5. Analyzer opens a new workspace tab and displays the Add Fields to Workspace dialog.
6. Move fields from the Available Fields list box to the Selected Fields list box or click [Expression] and use the Expression Builder to create a new expression or computed field.
7. Click [OK] when you have finished.
8. Analyzer displays the new workspaces tab showing you the number of definitions included in the workspace.
9. Close the workspaces tab. Analyzer prompts you to save the changes. Click [OK].

Note: To avoid duplicating field definitions that are to be shared via a workspace, delete any copied fields from the table layout prior to activating the workspace with the table.

You can also create a workspace in command mode. For details, see Save.

To activate a workspace, see Activating Workspaces.
