Working with namespaces

When you first install CDAP, you’ll see a namespace called default. You can work in the default namespace, but you’ll probably want to create other namespaces. For example, you might have a namespace for Development, one for Testing, and one for Production.

1. Go to the Hamburger menu.

2. In the Namespace section, click the down arrow.

3. Click Add Namespace.

4. Enter a name and description and complete the optional configuration steps.

Switching namespaces

To switch namespaces, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Hamburger menu, click the down arrow, and click the namespace you want to switch to.
