I want to create a Workset with the information shown below.
Has anyone done this?
John Frampton said:use the _USTN_WORKSETSTANDARDSUBDIRS to define them. The variable can be defined as follows FolderA;FolderB;FolderB\SubDirA
This would be the best option and would recommend you append the variable either at the Organization or WorkSpace level
If I add this variable to my "Connect workspace.cfg" this will create the folders, Correct?
What would I need to do in order to include files (for example templates for forms) in the various folders?
We have a Project Folder Template, this contains folders, sub-folders and template files in various locations.
If I modify the workset.template file using the ustn_worksetstandardssubdirs could I add a copy function that would copy the folder and subfolders from a "blank" project folder template? This would contain all the folders, sub-folders and template files I need in place?

When creating a new WorkSet, there is the 'Template' option (3rd line down in the dialog box) which will copy an existing WorkSet (which could contain all you need). I think of it as a 'seed' WorkSet.

That is what the template project does for you.

Why is this the best option? In his scenario he wants files copied also. How would you recommend to do that part?

yep
Are you talking about the WorkSet.Template? How would that set up the folders and files I need?
using the dialog to create the subfolders will not get you the directory structure you are looking for. However - you can manually create the directory structure or use an already existing project/workset as a template. It will use the existing directory structure and files (if needed). This is the template option in the workset creation. If "none" is selected in the template choice, then the workset.template.cfg is used but again it limits how/where the folders get created.

I have done this but cannot seem to get it to create a new project folder from the existing template. It creates the CFG and Dwngs files in the WorkSet folder on my "C" drive but does not create the folder on the Server where I have directed it.
