The Rule Project you just created is now listed in the Project Explorer window in Corticon.js Studio.

The Project Explorer window provides a convenient way of navigating between your Corticon.js Studio files, including Vocabularies, Rulesheets, Ruleflows, and Ruletests. Double-clicking on a highlighted file in the list shown in the Project Explorer window below will cause the file to open and become the active window in Corticon.js Studio. Our new Example_Project, shown below, is empty, so there are no files available to open yet.

Project Menu

The Project menu has standard Workbench functions, as well as the following:

  • Validate Project - Project validation loads every asset in the project into memory and validates it to identify any errors or warnings. On large projects, project validation can use significant memory and take time to complete. Project validation is done in the background such that you can continue to use Studio while validation is ongoing. The progress of project validation is shown in the footer of the Corticon Studio window. It can also be viewed in the Progress view by selecting Window > Show View > Other then General: Progress
  • Upgrade Rule Assets - It is important that you keep project assets in synch with the Studio. If you brought new assets into your workspace, you should perform this action. Opens the Upgrade Corticon.js Assets dialog. For a discussion of this feature, see How to upgrade projects coming forward from a prior release .
  • Package rules for deployment - Lets you choose selected Ruleflows to package for deployment.
  • Properties - Opens the dialog that provides several advanced features.

These commands are also accessible on the dropdown menu that opens when you right-click on a project.
