Creating new configurations
There are different ways create a new configuration within the Workbench: By using the main menu, the tool bar of the Workbench or by using the context menu of a directory within the Repository-Explorer.
Using the main menu or the tool bar
Use the menu item "Configuration/New Configuration" to create a new configuration. Then a wizard opens where you can define several settings for your new configuration.
On the first page of the wizard you must define the filename of the new configuration and the folder where it will located. The filename of a configuration is very important because it will also determine the name of the model created by this configuration.
After you set the folder and the filename press the "Next >>" button to reach the next page of the wizard.
In the second and last page of the wizard you can define the name of the fact-dimension which will be automatically created by this wizard. Depending on your language there will be a default-name for this dimension but you can change the name if you want. The name of the fact-dimension must be a regular name and must not contains whitespaces or special characters.
After you defined the name of the fact-dimension, use the button "Finish" to create the new configuration. Then the configuration editor will open, showing an empty configuration file.
After you created a new configuration, it will not be written to its folder until you save it.
Using the context menu of a folder
Using the context-menu of a folder to create a configuration is similar to use the Workbench-Menu or toolbar but the folder in the wizard will be pre-filled with the folder on which you opened the context-menu.
Open the context-menu of a folder and use the menu item "Create configuration..." to open the configuration wizard.
