File Menu

The File menu contains items for managing System Manager workspaces. Workspaces display information about all shared or network variables that are currently deployed, including the URL, current value, data type, timestamp information, and any error or quality messages. Quality messages list errors and other conditions that apply to the variable.

• New Workspace—Creates a new workspace. When you select this menu item, the System Manager removes all variables from the Watch List view and resets the workspace layout.
• Open Workspace—Opens a saved workspace.
• Save Workspace—Saves the current workspace with the .smw extension.
• Settings—Displays the Settings dialog box where you can customize workspace layout, set the data update rate, and specify the System Manager to save its workspace between sessions.
