[ORD/CE] Dividing up Workset files

So I'm wrapping my head around the workspaces and worksets, to try to set things up to work within my company's network organization. I know I've posted about this before, but I'm back on it now, and I'm looking back over what I have

_USTN_WORKSETSROOT is the location where MicroStation will look for my list of worksets for "this" given workspace. This will point to the workset storage location on our network configuration directory.

_USTN_WORKSETROOT is the specific workset directory of the chosen workset. Should this be where the workset drawings are stored, or the workset config (They are not the same for us)?

_USTN_WORKSETDGNWSROOT is where the DGNWS file will be stored. Is this basically the same as _USTN_WORKSETROOT?

_USTN_WORKSETDGNWS is The actual DGNWS file for this workset. Do I define this in the Workset CFG file?

_USTN_WORKSETDGNS is where the drawing files for that workset will be located. I think this can be used to point to our project data drive on the network, which will be a different location entirely.

I feel like there is a lot more to this...
Thank you for letting me know if I am on the right track

  • worksetsroot - yes this is where the config is

    worksetroot - yes this is where your working data is (design files, etc...)

    dgnwsroot - yes this is where the file is located - it can be worksetroot - user needs read/write access

    dgnws - yes this is the actual file - user needs read/write

    worksetdgns - just a folder where to look when the workset is selected - i have this pointing to the top portion of our network, because the user will need to browse to the correct location for the files - we have multiple projects using the same workset.

    personally not using the dgnws yet - lots of issues still
