When OpenROAD Workbench is open, you can create a new application and store it in the database to which you are connected currently.

To create an application and set its basic properties

1. Click the Develop tab.

2. Click File, New Application.

The Create Application dialog appears.

Note: For a description of the fields on this dialog, see Application Properties (see Application Properties) (Workbench User Guide).

3. Enter the application name (for example, My_Application).

4. Select a database option from the Database drop-down.

5. Enter a comment about the application in the Remark entry field, if desired.

6. Enter any parameters in the Parameters field.

7. Enter the name of a globals initialization file, if desired.

Note: Click the button at the right end of the field to browse the location of a file.

For more information on using an initialization file, see Specify Initial Values for Global Variables and Global Constants (see Specify Initial Values for Global Variables and Global Constants) (Workbench User Guide).

8. Enter any database flags in the Ingres Flags field, if desired.

9. Accept the Default application icon, or clear the check box and browse for an alternative icon file.

Note: This option specifies the icon that is displayed when the application's frames are minimized.

10. Click Create.

Your application appears in the Workbench's detailed list view.

Note: You can modify any of these properties subsequently using the Application Properties dialog.
