Whoever wrote that paragraph didn't request a corresponding feature for 
EIS from tooling :-(

What you can do is to create a CWS in EIS setting it to "plannned" 
initially and some time later than use the "cws create" command on the 
commandline afterwards to really create it and set it´s state to new. 
This should work for currently used HG and previously used SVN 
SourceCode Control Mangement systems.

Setting a planned CWS to 'new' or initially setting to 'new' is 
currently probably only possible with some administrator rights in EIS.

If we would want to be able to directly set the CWS to 'new' in EIS for 
HG based ChildWorkspaces for everyone we could probably add such a 
feature, but it would eventually be some kind of tricky how to allow 
that than for HG based CWS and disallow that for other CWSs which are 
using other SCMs.
