The New Workspace Command
(Screen 2 of 3: Choosing a Name and Location for the Workspace)

Name of Workspace to Create

No two workspaces in the same AccuRev repository can have the same name, even if they are in different depots. Moreover, streams, snapshots, workspaces, and reference trees all share the same namespace: no two of them can have the same name. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities.

A workspace name always ends with a username suffix. For example, if your username is akp and you specify thorn_dvt as the workspace name, AccuRev creates a workspace named thorn_dvt_akp.

Access controls imposed by the operating system and/or network file system may restrict where you can create a workspace. See User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities.
