Creating a Workspace

Overview Before you can create a.isl file for a logical island, you need to either open an

existing workspace or create a new workspace. In the Advantys configuration

software, an island can exist only inside a workspace.

When you are first starting out, you will need to create a workspace. When you

create the workspace, it automatically creates one new island inside it. You can add

additional islands to the workspace later, if you choose. A workspace can contain up

to 10 islands.
