Create a single-user workspace

Your work environment in Tosca is called a workspace. It's where you plan, create, and run your tests.

This topic explains how to create a single-user workspace for environments where only one person needs access to test assets and data.

You're part of a team that needs access to the same test assets and data? Then you have to create multi-user workspaces instead.

Create your workspace

To create a single-user workspace, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tosca Commander start screen, select Create new.

  2. This opens the create workspace window. Perform the following actions: 

    • Select None (creates single user workspace) from the Select type of Repository dropdown.

    • Configure the new workspace:

Option

Description

Create new workspace in

Define where Tosca saves the workspace.

By default, Tosca creates all new workspaces in the workspace directory path C:\Tosca_Projects\Tosca_Workspaces.

Select name for new workspace

Enter a unique name for the workspace. Make sure it meets the following requirements:

  • The name only contains alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), or underscores (_).

  • The combination of workspace directory path and workspace name is 260 characters long, at most.

Use workspace template

Select this option to import the Standard subset or any other subset into the new workspace.

Create slim workspace

This option isn't available for single-user workspaces.
