Create a workspace

IMPORTANT

Read more about Data Workbench’s End-of-life announcement.

You can customize existing workspaces by adding or modifying existing visualizations or creating new workspaces.

You can then save these workspaces for later use. See Creating Workspaces.

You can create new workspaces by creating a blank workspace, copying and pasting an existing workspace, or saving a workspace to another location or using another name.

This section describes the following tasks:

Adding New Workspaces

On the desired Worktop tab, right-click a blank area within the tab and click one of the following options:

  • New > Blank Workspace. This option displays a standard size, blank workspace.

  • New > Report Template. This option displays a standard size template that you can use to create reports.

The thumbnail for the new type of workspace appears on the tab.

NOTE

After opening a new workspace, you may need to click Add > Temporarily Unlock.

Copying and Pasting Existing Workspaces

You can copy and paste an existing workspace onto to any other workspace. If you paste the workspace on a tab that contains a server version of a workspace with the same name, the workspace is pasted as a local version of that workspace. If you paste the workspace on a tab that contains server and local versions of a workspace with the same name, the workspace is pasted as a user version of that workspace with the same name followed by (Copy). If you paste the workspace on a tab that does not contain a workspace with the same name, the workspace is pasted as a new user workspace.

To copy and paste an existing workspace

  1. On the desired Worktop tab, right-click the workspace that you want to copy and click Copy.

  2. Go to the tab in which you want to paste the workspace, right-click a blank area within the tab, then click Paste.
