A workspace is the compute you attach to a database. You create one in two places:

  • Step 2 of Create Workgroup — after you click Next on Create a workgroup, you must create the first workspace for that workgroup.

  • Inside an existing workgroup — open the workgroup and click Create Workspace to add another workspace, for example a read-only workspace on the same database.

If Savanna just finished sign-up provisioning, you already have a workspace. Wait until its status is active, then go to Design a schema.

Create the workspace

  1. If you are not already on Create Workspace (step 2), open Workgroups and click Create Workspace.

    workspacecreate
  2. Name the workspace.

    workspaceinfo
  3. Select a TigerGraph workspace runtime.

  4. Choose a size and any advanced settings you need now. You can change size later. See Choose a workspace size and Workspace settings.

    workspaceDetails
  5. Create a new database, or attach this workspace to an existing one. A new database makes this workspace read-write. Attaching to an existing database makes it read-only. See Read-write and read-only.

  6. Optionally add a solution or add-ons. You can do this later from workspace settings.

    Add onsimage
  7. Click Create. If this is step 2 of a new workgroup, that finishes both the workgroup and the workspace.

    A database can have only one read-write workspace.

    If you terminate the read-write workspace, you cannot create another one for that database.

  8. The workspace starts to build. Watch progress on the General tab.

  9. When it is ready, use the workspace tab for compute details and the database tab for the attached data.
