Workbench Perspective

The Workbench perspective serves as the Studio's design-time environment. Objects used in your integration Projects are created and maintained here.  

This perspective contains these views:

• Project Explorer
• Problems
• Properties
• References (new to v5.2.20)

Project Explorer view

The Project Explorer view is where objects (and other resources) can be created, managed, and organized within Projects, Packages, and folders.

View Bar

The view bar offers these tools:

• Collapse All
• Link with Editor
• View Menu
• Minimize
• Maximize

View Menu

The View Menu offers these selections:

• Top Level Elements: These options allow for designating the top (or outer-most) level of resources to display. Choices are: Projects and Working Sets.
• Select Working Set: Opens the Select Working Set window, which allows for selecting a Working Set.
• Deselect Working Set: Deselects the current Working Set.
• Edit Active Working Set: Opens the Edit Working Set window, which allows for modifying the current Working Set.
• {Working Sets}: If any Working Sets exist, they are listed here.
• Package Presentation: Choices are: Flat and Hierarchical.
• Customize View: Produces the Available Customizations window, which allows for selecting filters to show/hide various artifacts.
• Link with Editor: When multiple files are open for editing, you can configure one of the navigation views to automatically bring an open file to the foreground, thus making its editor active every time.

Problems View

Available for both the Workbench and Team Synchronization perspectives, use the Problems view to view errors and warnings.

The Problems view presents a table. Column headings are: Description, Resource, Path, Location, and Type. Expand the tree-structure to display individual errors/warnings. Double-click an error to display an editor that allows for addressing the problem. If the problem is with an object, that object’s editor appears.

View Bar

The view bar offers these tools:

• View Menu
• Minimize
• Maximize

View Menu

The View Menu offers these selections.

• Show: Options include All Errors, Warning on Selection, Errors/Warning on Selection, Errors/Warning on Project, and Show All (check)
• Group By: Options include Plug-in Problem Type, Java Problem Type, Severity, Type, and None.
• Sort By: Options include: Description, Resource,Path, Location, Type, and Ascending (checkbox).
• New Problems View: Produces the New Problems View window, which allows for creating another view. This is useful, for example, if you wish to list different types of problems in separate views.
• Configure Contents: Produces the Configure Contents window, which allows for customizing the display of problems.
• Configure Columns: Produces the Configure Columns window, which allows for adding/removing/moving columns.

Properties View

The Properties view displays information about the currently active (highlighted) item. That item may be a resource (Project, Package, folder, or file) or a specific component of that resource (such as a task in a Business Process).

This view is available in both the Clarify Workbench and Admin Console perspectives.

When the item is a resource, this view presents that component’s parameters.

View Bar

The view bar offers these tools: Pins this property view to the current selection, View Menu, Minimize, and Maximize/Restore. When pinned, the currently-displayed properties of the selected resource remain visible, even when another resource is selected. When unpinned, the properties of the previously-pinned resource remain visible until another resource is selected.

View Menu

The View Menu offers these selections.

• New Properties View: Duplicates the view. This is useful, for example, if you wish to view properties for two (or more) resources simultaneously; be sure to select Pin to Selection for each view to remain static.
• Pin to Selection: Performs the same function as Pins this property view to the current selection.

References View

When you open an object in its editor, the References view lists any other Studio objects that invoke it. This includes object name, path, number of matches, and version control information for each object.

The objects included in the view can also be opened directly from this area. You would then see which objects are invoking those objects. Selecting a new object always updates the view.
