A Workspace is a particular configuration of panels, toolbars, charts and/or table layouts that makes up your trading environment. ProTrader Desktop provides predefined default Workspaces and lets you create any number of custom Workspaces either by modifying the default or by starting a new Workspace from scratch. Custom Workspaces can be saved to .wrk files and reopened whenever required.

Default Workspace

After first lunching ProTrader Station automatically load default workspace. Default workspaces located at ProTrader instalation directory\DefaultWorkspaces\
Click Environent->Workspaces to see all available default workspaces on your computer.

After making any changes to a Workspace, it becomes a custom Workspace. Custom Workspace automatically promted to save on a server or your computer when closing. If workspace is saved on server side, this mean that you don't need to take care about moving your worksapces when switching to a new computer.  You can manage your own Worksapces available on a server throught Content Manager window.

Note: Broker can forbid to save custom workspaces on a server. In this case you will not see Content Manger window in Environemnt menu.
