Detailed Description

Click File / New / Workspace to start up with a new project.

A dialogue will show up to ask you how to save the new workspace.

Choose confluent to create a workspace that keeps its history but needs increasing storage space as it keeps growing.

To avoid the risk of growing data amount, you can create an ephemeral workspace. You can decide wheter to save it on disk by choosing Durable or to keep it purely In-Memory, which means that the data will be irrevocably lost after closing the project.

In the next step you are prompted to find a location on your storage medium of choice and to find a name for your project. There will be no prompt in case of saving in-memory.

The Workspace is your starting point for exploring your data. You can add multiple data sources, plots and sonifications by clicking the plus button .

Click the plus button to add data files to your project. Choose "DataSource" out of the list that will show up when clicking the plus button.

Go to the directory where your data is located and select the file of your choice. Click Open to add it to your project.

Right after opening the file another window will show up to ask you to confirm the data folder of origin. Usually it is automatically selected, you have just to confirm it by clicking Open.

In the next step you are asked to name your data source.

The Workspace is now filled with two elements, the data source location (called ArtifactStore) and the data file (called DataSource).

You can change the names of the elements by selecting one and double clicking on it.

Rearrange the elements for clarity by selecting one, holding and dragging it as you like. In this picture we already added a second data source.

Delete unwanted elements in your workspace by selecting one and clicking the minus button .
