Author: Deron Eriksson

(Continued from page 1) To get back our full listing of projects in our workspace, we can click the down arrow in the upper right corner of the Navigator view and select the 'Deselect Working Set' option. 
Now, we see that our original Navigator view of all of our projects has been restored. 
Working sets are a great way of filtering sets of projects in the Navigator view. They are particularly handy when you have sets of projects that go together. For instance you might have a 'domain' project and a 'view' project and a 'utility' project and a 'build' project that all go together for one work assignment, yet you might have another assignment that consists of three other interrelated projects. You could create a Working Set for each of these assignments and switch between the sets using the Working Set pulldown menu available by clicking on the white downward arrow. Related Tutorials: |
