Get 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.
