Testing Your DiveTab

As prerequisites for testing a DiveTab, you must complete the following procedures:

To test your DiveTab:

  1. In Workbench, select Tools > Launch DiveTab-PC.

    DiveTab-PC opens and logs in to the DiveTab site created in the prerequisite procedures.

  2. The Sync is automatic, and DiveTab-PC presents your landing page that resembles the preview you have in Workbench.

    NOTE: Any edits that you do after opening DiveTab must be Synced to display.

    Here is the Closedview from the client.

  5. On the lower right, you can click Logout to log out, or leave the DiveTab client open as you return to Workbench to make additional edits.
  6. As you continue to edit the DiveTab project in Workbench, use the Sync button in DiveTab-PC to display the results.

In this manner, you can develop and test your DiveTab with iterations of edits and saves in Workbench, and syncs in DiveTab.

NOTE: When you save a divetab script, any syntax errors are brought to your attention (provided you have set this behavior preference under Tools). Other errors, such as typographical errors or references to nonexistent columns in a cPlan, are not detected until the client runs the script. Be sure to view the details of any error that displays in the client, so that you can troubleshoot issues with the script. Here is an example of an Closederror message.
