Projects are displayed in the file explorer within a workspace or as stand-alone folders.
A workspace is an entity containing your project's settings, debug configurations, and task configurations.
We recommend you work in an environment where projects reside in a multi-root workspace.
In SAP Business Application Studio, a workspace is created for you as part of the project creation wizard. If a workspace is already open, new projects are added to it by default.
Working in a multi-root workspace environment means that you can group projects that are saved in different locations or even in different workspaces. All project files are visible in the file explorer under the same workspace.
You also have the option to open a project as a stand-alone folder, and not belonging to a workspace.
- From the menu, navigate to File > Open Folder....
- Select the desired project and click Open. The project opens as the root folder in the file explorer.
If you already have a workspace in which you want to create your project, click Open Workspace in the file explorer or from the menu, navigate to File > Open Workspace from File... and select the desired workspace file.
If you do not want your projects to be opened in a workspace by default, you can change the settings.
- From the menu, navigate to File > Preferences > Settings.
- From the Settings page, select Application Wizard.
- Under Workspace, select the preferred default behavior from the dropdown list.
