Worksets

When you join a project in Object Manager, you will download a dataset that represents the whole Shared Object Model. We call this dataset a workset.

Object Manager is by default configured to cache the workset locally on your PC. When changes are done in worksets, only those changes will be synced with the Shared Object Model.

The workset is a practical way of caching the model data you are interested in to gain the maximum performance, and to be able to work offline as well.

CAUTION: If you reconfigure Object Manager to cache the worksets on a file server, this may cause a severe performance decrease, and it is not recommended.

The Worksets page shows which worksets have been created for the Shared Model and by who has created a workset for the shared model. Here you will see which tasks are reserved within the different workset, what is shared from the different worksets, and when that was done.

The Item Status icons in the Explorer pane reports the status between the workset and the central Shared Object Model.
