 The video differentiates between workspaces and jobs within the software. Workspaces serve as templates, storing measurement parameters like standards, tolerances, and color scales, and contain only one standard. Jobs, on the other hand, store sample data and are housed within workspaces. The video guides users through creating new workspaces by adjusting measurement modes, color scales, and measurement options. It also demonstrates creating new jobs and explains how measurements are stored within these jobs.

Vista with Essentials 2 FAQ
1. What is a workspace in Vista with Essentials 2? A workspace in Vista with Essentials 2 acts as a template, storing measurement parameters such as standards, tolerances, color scales (e.g., CIE Lab, Hunter Lab), illuminant/observer settings (e.g., D65/10, C/2), and indices. Crucially, it also functions as a folder that contains multiple jobs. Only one standard can be set per workspace.

2. What is a job in Vista with Essentials 2? A job is where all of your individual sample measurement data is stored. Each workspace can contain multiple jobs.

3. What is the primary difference between a workspace and a job? A workspace is a template and container for settings and jobs, while a job is where the actual measurement data for individual samples is stored. Think of a workspace as a folder, and a job as a file within that folder.

4. How do I create a new workspace? To create a new workspace, click the workspace icon in the bottom right of the screen. Then, select the plus (+) button to add a new workspace. You can model the new workspace after an existing one or create it from scratch.

5. What parameters can I configure when creating a new workspace? When creating a new workspace, you can configure the measurement mode (e.g., Tran for transmission, RAR for reflected measurements), choose a standard, select a color scale (e.g., CIE Lab, Hunter Lab), specify an illuminant/observer combination (e.g., D65/10, C/2), enter target values and tolerances for your standard, enable color differences and/or indices, and add a wavelength index.

6. What measurement options can I configure in a workspace? Within a workspace, you can configure measurement options such as manual measurement (requiring you to click the measurement icon each time), averaging (averaging multiple measurements), or automatic/continuous measurement. You can also select or unselect options to prompt you for a sample name, product ID, or notes before each measurement.

7. How do I create a new job? To create a new job, click on the job icon on the bottom left side of the screen. The pop-up will display all the jobs listed in your workspace. From that point, you can create a new job or choose to delete or export an existing one. Measurements taken within a workspace will be saved under the currently selected job.

8. Can I transfer existing jobs from one workspace to another? Yes, when creating a new workspace, you can enable an option to send jobs and measurements from the default workspace to the new workspace.
