(version 1.5)
There are two ways to set up a new workspace: ahead of time or on the fly. If you remember to do so ahead of time, you can use the Add New Workspace control on the list of your workspaces available from the main navigation bar. Using this method allows you to give the workspace a relevant name at the time of creation. If you decide to create a new workspace on the fly, you can change the workspace name afterwards. For creating a workspace on the fly, see Create a New Workspace "On The Fly" and The Default Name: to see how this is done. See Chapter IV-7, Edit a Workspace for information on changing the default name to one that describes the workspace.
From the list of workspaces:
Click "Add a New Workspace" above the list of your existing workspaces.
Type a name for the new workspace.
Type a description to help further identify the new workspace.
Type any notes you need to help identify how and/or why this workspace was created. This information is the only information that is available later if the purpose or selection criteria used to add collections, images and references to the workspace is in doubt.
Click the "Add Workspace" button.
Create a New Workspace "On The Fly" and The Default Name: The list of workspaces next to the "Add to Workspace" button starts with "New Workspace." Using this entry in the list creates a new workspace with a default name if the "Add to Workspace" button is clicked.
If you want to create a workspace "on the fly," leave the list on "New Workspace." Select the collections or images you want and click the "Add to Workspace" button. A new workspace is created with a default name. The default name composed of "Workspace created" and the date and time of creation, as in the following example.
Click "edit" for the workspace to change the name to something more meaningful and add a description and notes. See Chapter IV-7, Edit a Workspace for more information.
