Start Open Workbench

You can start Open Workbench from the Programs menu. If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, you can open a project and start Open Workbench from CA Clarity PPM.

When you start Open Workbench, the Open Workbench window displays. It is the main window in Open Workbench. At the top left, the round button for the Application menu as well as the shortcut menu is displayed. Below that, the ribbon bar menu is displayed, where you can access all functions in Open Workbench. A Library that contains views which you can apply to projects displays at the left in this window. The view that you set as the default view is automatically displayed, even if you have not opened a project.

The Log on to CA Clarity PPM dialog box displays if you have CA Clarity PPM access or have the Log on to server check box selected. This check box is General option.

If you are logged in to CA Clarity PPM (it is running in an active browser window), but you start Open Workbench from the Programs menu instead of opening a project in Open Workbench from CA Clarity PPM, the Log on to CA Clarity PPM dialog box displays.

Note: See the Common Features and Personal Options User Guide for more information.
