Selecting a folder for your workspace

Use Helix Sync to select a local folder to copy your workspace into. Each of your workspaces needs its own folder.

You must create a workspace in P4V before you can select a folder to store it in. For information on creating a workspace in P4V, see Creating a workspace in P4V.

  1. Open Helix Sync and log in with the same server, user, and password details you used in P4V.

    Your new workspace is displayed in Helix Sync as Not synced.

    Tip

    If your new workspace is not in the list of workspaces, restart Helix Sync.

  2. Select the workspace you created.

    The Select a workspace folder dialog box opens.

  3. Click Select folder and use the file browser to select a folder for your workspace. It is best to create a new folder for your workspace files.

  4. Click Download all files to create the workspace folder and download all files from the server to the folder. This can take a while if there are a lot of folders and files.

    Tip

    If you want to sync files later, switch the Sync now toggle off and click Skip download.

  5. You are now ready to start using Helix Sync to manage your assets.
