Poll workspace

In addition to path‑based filters, you can control polling by using a dedicated poll workspace.

A poll workspace is used only to detect changes and is separate from the workspace used during checkout:

  • Changes detected in the poll workspace view trigger a build.

  • File syncs for the build are performed using the checkout workspace.

To add a poll workspace:

  1. In the Workspace behavior section, select Custom Polling Path.

  2. Enter the paths to the workspaces to poll.

Example poll workspace view::

//depot/project1/main/...
-//depot/.../ignoreme.src

When a poll workspace is configured, polling and checkout use independent workspaces. Ensure the poll and checkout workspace views do not conflict.
