7.3, Workspaces and .xfproj file

[Sweez]

Has anyone worked yet with workspaces (loading/ extracting) using a .xfproj file?  I am trying to moved a dashboard maintenance unit (DMU) out of the default workspace into a new one.  However, when I export my .xfproj file (pre-7.3), remove the DMU from default, and load the .xfproj file back in I do not see it loading to the new workspace I created.  Is there something in the .xfproj file that needs added to accumadate workpsaces in 7.3?

Easy way to test it, create one maintenance unit in the new one, export it, and see the difference in the XML.

Thanks for replying. I guess I am not sure how that translates to the xfproj file.  How the xfproj file works is still a little bit of a mystery.  I can see where workspaces are referenced in the normal xml.  I can modify it and load back into Onestream to move Maintenace Units out of default.  Problem is the xfprof file does not seem to recognize workspaces.  Sorry if I am not explaining it well.

Examples of using Workspace with an .XFProj file

Everything in a Workspace

<projectItem projectItemType="DashboardWorkspace" folderPath="" workspace="WORKSPACENAME" includeDescendants="true" /> 

Everything in a DMU in a Workspace

<projectItem projectItemType="DashboardMaintenanceUnit" folderPath="" workspace="WORKSPACENAME" name="DASHBOARDMAINTENANCEUNITNAME" includeDescendants="true" />

Everything in the Default Workspace

<projectItem projectItemType="DashboardWorkspace" folderPath="" workspace="" name="" includeDescendants="true" />

Everything in the Default Workspace with the DMU specified

<projectItem projectItemType="DashboardMaintenanceUnit" folderPath="" workspace="" name="DASHBOARDMAINTENANCEUNITNAME" includeDescendants="true" />
