Workspaces
This chapter describes the elements and features of Workspaces in BlomDESKTOP ViewerTM.
As described in section 3.2.1, BlomDESKTOP ViewerTM is based around using Workspaces.
A Workspace can be seen as a ‘Project’ where the user can define which data models and libraries
to use, define specific views and their function, add data files, etc… This Workspace can then be
saved so all the configuration can be easily retrieved later on. Several Workspaces can be created,
so users can manage and work with different projects on different data libraries or geographic
areas.
Workspaces are files with the .wksx extension. By default they are saved into the .\Workspaces
folder in the BlomDESKTOP ViewerTM installation folder.
