Workspace identification and worker zone

Every workspace includes the following settings to identify the workspace and to route the workspace jobs to a specific set of Structural workers.

Fields to identify the workspace

All workspaces have the following fields that identify the workspace:

1. In the Workspace name field, enter the name of the workspace.
2. In the Workspace description field, provide a brief description of the workspace. The description can contain up to 200 characters.
3. In the Tags field, provide a comma-separated list of tags to assign to the workspace. For more information on managing tags, go to Assigning tags to a workspace.

About worker zones

Workspace jobs are processed by Tonic Structural workers.

Each can optionally be assigned to a zone. Each zone can contain multiple workers.

Structural Cloud provides a set of zones, as well as a set of workers that are not assigned to zones.

On a self-hosted instance, you can configure the list of zones and assign your Structural workers to those zones.

Assigning a workspace to a zone

On the workspace settings view, from the Zone dropdown list, select the name of the zone to route the workspace jobs to.

If no worker zones are configured, then the dropdown is not displayed.

By default, a workspace is not assigned to a zone. The workspace jobs are processed by a worker that is also not assigned to a zone.

Note that the following cases cause the workspace jobs to not be processed:

• A workspace is not assigned to a zone, but all of the workers are assigned to zones.
• A workspace is assigned to a zone, but the zone has no assigned workers.
