Project Workspace

The DATAMIMIC Project Workspace provides various tools and features to manage your data projects. The main areas include the Project Navigation Bar, Project Selection, and links to the Editor, Tasks, Schedules, and Project Settings including the Environment Management.

Project Navigation Bar

The Project Navigation Bar is located at the top of the screen and provides essential tools and actions for working within a project:

• Editor: Navigate to the editor window.
• Schedules: Manage schedules.
• Task: View and manage tasks.
• ML-Gen: Browse and run ML/rule-based generators.
• Workbench: Open the database planning workbench.
• Settings: Access settings for the project.

Note

Generate and Advanced Generation Settings are controls on the Editor page itself, not part of this shared navigation cluster — they render at the right end of the same bar, but only while viewing the Editor (Schedules, Task, and Settings don't show them). The Advanced Generation Settings icon (right of "Generate") lets you set additional settings for the generation process/task execution, described in detail in the Advanced Generation Settings documentation.

Project Navigation Bar

Project Selection

To quickly switch between your 5 latest projects, you have two options:

1. Use the Project Selection Dropdown: Click the recent-projects caret next to Projects in the navigation sidebar.

2. Press / Key: Press the / key to open the project selection menu.

Use this to navigate between recent projects.

Project Wizard Options

1. Empty

Empty creates a new project from scratch.

2. Git Project

The selection Git Project allows to clone a project from a Git repository.

Git sync and apply flows include additional overwrite safeguards to reduce accidental project-data loss in failure scenarios.

For the end-to-end Git workflow, including pushing task results and updating from remote, see Git Connected Functionality.

3. Import From Archive

Using Import From Archive you can upload a DATAMIMIC project archive. Archives can be created in Settings.

During import, unsupported or invalid files are filtered out so valid project content can still be imported safely.
