Opening a Workspace at Login

To have a workspace open automatically when you log in to the application:

  1. Create a shortcut to the application.

    For information and instructions to create a shortcut, see the documentation for your operating system.

  2. Add a command-line parameter to specify a workspace:
    • Right-click the shortcut you just created and select Properties.
    • In the Target field, after the base target definition, add this option:

    -wWorkspaceName

    where:

    • -w is the command option.
    • WorkspaceName is the name of the workspace you want to open automatically when you log in.

NOTES:

  • There is no space between the -w command and the name of the workspace.
  • If there are any spaces in the name of the workspace, you must enclose the workspace name in quotation marks, as in this example:

    -w"My Workspace"

  • This is a typical command line in a shortcut:

    "C:\Program Files\Acme\WinStudio.exe" -wMyWorkspace

When you use the shortcut to access the system, the workspace opens automatically.

The workspace opens automatically only when you use this shortcut to open the application. This means, among other things, that you can use different shortcuts to open different workspaces when you log in.
