JavaScript FOM Workspace Objects
Arbortext Layout Developer provides some objects, properties and methods to support Workspaces.
The fWorkspace object represents a Workspace and has the following properties:
• fWorkspace.name — the name of the Workspace
• fWorkspace.isActive — a Boolean to indicate if the Workspace is loaded (true) or not (false)
The fApplication object provides properties and methods for using Workspaces:
• fApplication.activeWorkspace — returns the fWorkspace object representing the currently active Workspace
• fApplication.workspaces — returns an array of fWorkspace objects where each element in the array is one of the Workspaces that ALD is aware of within the ‘workspaces’ folder
• fApplication.loadWorkspace() — this method allows a Workspace to be loaded by providing, as the argument, the name (as a string) of the desired Workspace or the fWorkspace object representing the desired Workspace
• fApplication.saveWorkspace() — this method will save the current settings as a Workspace using the name (or fWorkspace) provided as the argument. There is a Layout Editor version of this method, see the chapter on Workspaces and Layout Editor for more information.
