Workspaces

The area between the menu bar or Toolbar and the status bar is called the workspace. The workspace contains any open windows. Chromeleon allows you to save the window arrangement of any work situation, i.e., a combination of the different windows. Combine single files with a workspace to create a customized representation of the screen.

You can save a workspace under a separate name and open it again later. Use this option, for example, to save a workspace with a window for system control, a window for data processing, and a window for peak purity analysis. This allows you to work in your preferred work environment.

To save a workspace

1. Click on the Workspace menu.

2. Select Save Workspace to save the current workspace,
   - OR -
   Select Save Workspace as to save the current workspace with a new name.

To open a saved workspace

1. On the Workspace menu, select Open Workspace.

2. Locate the workspace file you want to open.

 Tips:

If Autosave Workspace on the Workspace menu is activated (check mark), the most recently used workspace is loaded whenever you start Chromeleon.

The information about the windows is stored in a WSP file.

There is no restriction as to the number of windows that can be saved with each workspace.

If you want to save the settings of an individual window (for example, the on-screen report and the Printer Layout) without changing the workspace, you can use a Report Definition File (RDF).
