Getting to know the project root element

The project root element is located in the project window. It lists all existing folders in a project. In a Tosca default installation this includes the folders Configurations, Execution, Issues, Modules, Reporting, Requirements, TestCaseDesign and TestCases. Optionally, the Lost and Found folder is created during an import to store objects that cannot be allocated.

Open the Project window via the menu entry Home->Project.

The project root element initially has the name of the workspace and can be freely renamed.

With the function Jump to Object, Tosca Commander allows objects to be directly accessed by entering the UniqueId or the NodePath.

The function Jump to Object is performed via the project root element. Select Jump to Object in the context menu of the project root element. The dialog window for entering the UniqueId or the NodePath is opened.
