Getting Started Managing Workspaces - techtalk/SpecLog-Resources GitHub Wiki

You can have multiple workspaces in a single SpecLog project and copy cards between workspaces. You can use different workspaces to represent different logical units, for example to group all cards that belong to a single sprint, or to break down a high level function on one workspace into its constituent parts.
Workspaces are managed from the Workspaces widget. If the Workspaces widget is not displayed, click on Workspaces at the bottom of the screen to display the widget

Renaming Workspace1

The default name of the initial workspace is “Workspace1”. You should rename this workspace to something more descriptive:

  1. In the Workspaces widget, click on the menu icon (/ScreenShots/GettingStarted/MenuArrow.png) next to “Workspace1” and select Rename from the menu.

    You can also select the workspace from the list and click on its name to rename it (don't double-click, as this opens the workspace).
  2. Enter a descriptive name for the workspace, e.g. “Bookstore”.

Adding a New Workspace

You can add a new workspace to the project to organise the cards, e.g. use a workspace to depict all requirements relating to a single sprint.

To do so:

  1. Click on /ScreenShots/GettingStarted/WidgetMenu.png in the Workspaces widget and select New Workspace from the menu.
  2. Enter a name for the new workspace, e.g. “Sprint 1”.
  3. Double-click on the name of the new workspace to open it. A new tab is displayed at the top of the screen with the name of the workspace. The workspace is currently empty.
  4. Return to the initial workspace (“Bookstore”) by clicking on its tab.

Moving and Copying Requirements between Workspaces

You can copy and move requirements from one workspace to another.

Copying cards to a workspace creates copies on the target workspace while retaining the cards on the source workspace. The cards on both workspaces are the same element; editing a card on one workspace will affect all instances of the card on all workspaces.

When moving cards from one workspace to another, the cards are removed from the source workspace and added to the target workspace.

To move requirements from one workspace to another:

  1. Hold down Ctrl and drag a selection box around the cards in the workspace to select them.
  2. Click on one of the selected cards and drag it to the target workspace’s tab at the top of the screen and release the mouse button.

To copy requirements from one workspace to another:

  1. Hold down Ctrl and drag a selection box around the cards in the workspace to select them.
  2. Click on one of the selected cards and drag it to the target workspace’s tab at the top of the screen. Before releasing the mouse button to drop the cards on the new workspace, hold down the Ctrl key, and then release the mouse button.
