Configuring Settings

Last modified: July 13, 2026

Introduction

Navigate to the Settings page in a workspace to configure settings that are applied to all stations in that workspace.

Log Settings

The Workstation Client always stores logs to the file system it is installed on (for more information, see Troubleshooting the Workstation Client). No logs are send to the Workstation Management. However, you can configure the log level and retention policy of all the Workstation Clients that are registered to stations in the workspace.

Log Level

Configure the log level of the logs stored by the Workstation Clients.

Info - This is the default log level. Logs normal operations and key application events. For example, the time when the Client was launched or terminated.
Warn - Logs potential issues, suboptimal conditions, and other situations that require attention, for example, if a request to refresh the Client's configuration timed out.
Error - Logs visible problems where something is not working as expected, for example, device failures.
Debug - Logs detailed internal states for developer diagnostics, for example, requests made to the Workstation Management, or communication with devices.

By default, unregistered Workstation Clients are set to the Debug log level. After a Client is registered, the log level as configured in the Workspace settings is applied.

Retention Policy

Verbosity and thus log file size increases with each log level. To constrain this, the logs are limited to 10 MB in size and stored for 7 days by default.

Modify these settings to the needs of your logging policy, especially if you require to keep debug level logs in production for retrospective troubleshooting.

Client's Auto-Refresh

By default, the Workstation Client operates in auto-refresh mode. That is, any changes made to the configuration in Workstation Management are immediately reflected in the Client.

To change this behavior, change the Auto-Refresh Mode setting to Off. You can then force the configuration to refresh by clicking Refresh on Computer in Workstation Management, or by clicking Refresh in the Workstation Client.

The Check Interval setting is only available when the auto-refresh mode is enabled. It specifies how often a Workstation Client that is disconnected due to a web socket failure should automatically refresh its configuration by polling Workstation Management. By default, this happens every 60 minutes.

Local Device Testing

When enabled, this allows local device communication between the Workstation Client and Workstation Management App to use the Test Your Station feature of Studio Pro. You can use this option to test your devices.

Delete Workspace

The option to delete a workspace is available only to the workspace Owner.

Deleting a workspace cannot be reverted. The entire repository and all associated cloud environments are deleted permanently. Selecting this option makes the project inaccessible to all team members, including the workspace Owner.
