The Xpress Workbench Integrated Development Environment contains five major panels.
The
Xpress Workbench IDE helps you edit every type of source file that makes up your optimization app, along with many other file types. It also offers an intuitive representative method for editing views (vdl files) in a drag and drop interface.

Description
1
Top Menu
On the left is displayed the major command menus that you will use to create and edit your Mosel file.
On the right are the buttons which compile, run, and debug the current file.
There are also buttons that enable editing of the Compiler Options and Project Settings (Preferences).
2
Left sidebar—Tabbed panels allow you to:
see a hierarchical view of the current Project, to view and open any file in the current project.
View a list of Xpress Workbench Commands.
When a .vdl file is selected, the Palette displays the elements that can be used to create Views for Xpress Insight.
Note: The user interface only displays tabs appropriate to the type of file that is open and active in Workbench.
3
Right sidebar—Pop out menus enable you to:
Connect to Xpress Insight, to build and publish Insight apps.
View a complete list of Modules available to your Mosel script.
Open the Outline tab to view the structure of the current Mosel file, listing the declarations. Clicking on a displayed element will highlight the declaration in the code editor (If the declaration is in a different file due to a Mosel include statement, Workbench will open the source file if necessary).
Use the Profiler to display any profiling data contained in the accompanying .mos.prof file, generated by the Mosel profiler — an error message will display if the data cannot be read. For more, see Profiling Mosel Models.

Bottom tabbed pane
The results from each executed Mosel file are displayed in a new tab in this area.
