Using workspaces

Workspaces help users boost productivity by providing shortcuts to application screens and combining relevant widgets.

A workspace can be a copy of an application created by a user, administrator, or application, or a dedicated page for widgets only. By creating a copy of an application, you have more control over the application than the default application. You can change the default settings or choose what page within the application opens upon launch. You can create a widget workspace to set up a page for specific widgets, separate from any application. Workspaces can also be used as startup page to open upon launch.

Note: You can have a maximum of 20 workspaces added to your portal.

There are three types of workspaces:


Name	Description
Private	Any workspace created by an individual user for that user. A private workspace can be used and edited only by the user who created it.
Published	Administrators can create a workspace and publish it to the workspace catalog. The administrator can also set which users have access to the published workspace in the workspace catalog.
Standard	Workspaces created by the applications and available in the workspace catalog.

You can improve layout flexibility by using the Smart Stack functionality to separate the first column in the workspace for widgets you frequently use. You can resize these widgets to smaller sizes than widgets in the main workspace area, or enable automatic resizing based on widget content. See Using Smart Stack.
