The Workbench Interface

The Projects Tab

Wise Package Studio Reference
When you start Wise Package Studio, you see the Workbench interface, from which you
do most of your repackaging work. The left pane of Workbench contains the Project and
Tools tabs, which you use to work on projects or run tools.
When you are working on a project, you use the Projects tab and select the project from
Active Project. When you are not working on a project, use the Tools tab and double-
click the tool's icon.
The first time you start Wise Package Studio, it opens to the Projects tab. Thereafter, it
opens to the last tab in which you worked and the last project you had open, if any. In
the left pane of Workbench, you can switch between the Projects tab and Tools tab by
clicking the appropriate tab or by using the shortcut keys Alt+P and Alt+T respectively.
The Description tab in the right pane displays help text about the active task or tool.
Click a task or tool in the left pane to display its help. If a task is associated with a tool,
you can toggle between the task help and the tool help. To do so, click the View Tool
Help/View Task Help link in the upper right of the right pane. The right pane is visible
only when you are in full screen mode.
For information about Workbench display modes, see
page 22.
On the Projects tab, you select a project from Active Project. The left pane of the
Projects tab displays either tools or tasks, depending on whether the active project is
associated with a process.
