Create a workspace

Before creating a workspace, consider if you can use an existing workspace. Only create a new workspace if data isolation is important for the activities you are planning. If data isolation is not important for the planned activities, create a new task group in an existing workspace to contain the new activities.

Procedure

1. Open the Workspace Administration Tool.
   

2. Select...

   Workspaces | Manage workspaces | New workspace

3. Choose Single-use or Persistent workspace.

   Use a single-use workspace when you only want to use the workspace for one group of activities. Once the workspace moves into the complete state, the resources used by the workspace, such as the database schema, are released.

   Use a persistent workspace for activities with an ongoing or repeating nature. The workspace never moves into the complete state and the resources used by the workspace are never released.

4. To have the workspace ignore the locking policy, select...

   Emergency fix

   Ignoring the workspaces locking policy allows you to changed managed assets that are locked.

5. Optional: Specify names and descriptions for the workspace:

   1. Select the language for the name and description.

   2. Type the new name or description for the selected language. If you do not specify a name for the task, the system generated workspace code will be displayed for users using the selected language.

   3. Repeat steps a and b for other languages, if required.

6. Click OK.

After creating a workspace:

1. Create task groups in the workspace.
