Creating a Work Area

Create a new work area when you wish to define a location to be used for the item files for a project or stream.

PRIVILEGES Create Work Areas

NOTE When you assign the work area to your project/stream, you need to assign the ID of the work area and not just the file path.

To create a work area:

Right-click the Work Areas node: in the My Current Project/Stream display bar and select Create Work Area.

The New Work Area dialog box appears.

For Area ID, enter a name for the area.
Enter a Description.
Select a Network node from the list and enter the root folder/directory for the area on this node, or browse to select it.
Enter the Node User and Node Password for the node where the area is located in order to access the item files in that area.
For Project or Stream Association:

If you want to make this area the default for your current project select Make it the default area for the current project/stream.
Optionally, in the Folder offset field, enter a relative path within this area to use as the root folder for this project.

NOTE If this folder does not exist, it will not be created until files are fetched to that folder/directory.
