Add a new workspace to a dataset

Using the admin web frontend, a new workspace can be created by clicking the button , next to the label “Workspaces”, under the tree branch that represents the dataset.

In the dialog box, specify a unique identifier for this new workspace.

Note

This identifier will be used internally, and is different from the display name which is specified in the settings.

Caution

Make sure that the identifier is a valid variable name (see Valid data identifiers).

This action creates a new workspace directory for this dataset on the server (see also Workspace source files).

Follow-up actions

Modify the settings:

Click on the icon left of the workspace label (see Data import settings).

Add custom data to this workspace:

Click on the icon right of the “Custom data” label in the workspace section (see Add a custom data source to a workspace and and Workspace settings).

Re-import the source data:

Updating a dataset from source the data to the server database does not happen automatically, and has to be initiated by the user. Click on the icon left of the dataset label (see Import dialog box).
