Workspace 

Definition

The grid on which you build your model.

 

Structure

The workspace can contain up to four tabs, or model views:

Tab	Use
Design	Constructing your model
Layout	Customizing the layout of iViews
Preview	Previewing and validating the logic of iViews
Source	Reviewing the code that is automatically generated by Storyboard as you build your model

 

The various tabbed workspaces are available according to the model component you are working with.

Each tab has its own workspace toolbox, which provides a set of tab-specific tools to assist you with the tasks you perform in that workspace. By default, the toolbox appears at the bottom of the displayed workspace. You can change its location or hide it by choosing Tools ® Options, or by right-clicking the toolbox and choosing the docking option from the context menu. See Customizing the Visual Composer Desktop.

To facilitate construction of your model, you can open a model component in an additional window, showing the different levels of the model at the same time. For example, you may want to view all the iViews of a page in one window, while viewing one of the open iViews at the same time.

To open multiple windows:

In the Design workspace, right-click the component that you wish to open in a different window and from the context menu, choose Open in New Window.
