Managing workspaces
Adding an existing target to a workspace
While you can have only one workspace open at a time, you
can add as many targets to the workspace as you want and open and
edit objects in multiple targets.
To add an existing target to a workspace:
-
Right-click on the workspace displayed
in the System Tree and select Add Target from the popup menu.The Add Target to Workspace dialog box displays.
-
Navigate to the directory containing the target
you want to add and select the target (.pbt). file. -
Click Open.
The target is added to your current workspace.
Removing a target from a workspace
When you remove a target from the workspace, the .pbt file
is not deleted.
To remove a target from a workspace:
-
Right-click on the target displayed in
the System Tree and select Remove Target from the popup menu.
Specifying workspace properties
You specify workspace properties in the Properties of Workspace
dialog box.
To specify workspace properties:
-
In the Workspace tab of the System Tree,
select Properties from the popup menu for the workspace. -
Select the Targets, Deploy Preview, or Source
Control tab page. -
Specify the properties as described in the following
sections.
Specifying target order
You can specify the targets and the order in which those targets
are built or deployed on the Targets tab page. All the targets identified
with the workspace are listed. Check the targets you want to include
in the workspace build or deploy. Use the arrows to change a target’s
position in the target order list.
Previewing deployment
You can verify the targets and the order in which those targets
are built or deployed on the Deploy Preview tab page. To make changes,
you need to use:
- The Targets page on this
property sheet to change which targets are selected for deployment - The Deploy tab on the property sheet for the target
to specify which projects in a PowerScript target are built or which
deployment configuration is used for a Web target
Specifying source control
properties
You can specify which source control system, if any, is used
for this workspace, as well as other source control properties.
