Saving a Workspace

Workspaces can be saved to a file so that they can be reused at a later date. The save button on the toolbar is one way to do this:

There are also menu options to do the same thing, in this case, File > Save (shortcut = Ctrl+S) or File > Save As. The default file extension is .fmw.

TIP

There are several intuitive, but less obvious, features of the FME Workbench interface.

For example, select File > Open Recent on the menu bar to reveal a list of previously used workspaces. This list can show up to a huge 15 entries.
