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, Jobs, 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:

• Generate: Start the data generation process.
• Advanced Generation Mode: The icon right of "Generate" triggers the Advanced Generation Mode, which allows you to set additional settings for the generation process/task execution. These settings are described in detail in the Generation - Advanced Settings documentation.
• Editor: Navigate to the editor window.
• Jobs: Manage scheduled jobs.
• Tasks: View and manage tasks.
• Settings: Access settings for the editor.

Note

Not all buttons may be available depending on the selected tool (e.g., Jobs, Tasks, Settings do not show the generation or advanced generation options).
