Workspace InfoObject

The Workspace InfoObject has a special position among other InfoObject types:

  • It is the main working area where USU Service Management catalogs and editors get opened and thus most actual data work is done.

  • Multiple catalog and editor windows can be opened in one Workspace InfoObject.

  • The Workspace InfoObject is mandatory for the Work Page perspective.

Working with the Workspace InfoObject

  • Opening a catalog or an editor (from the Sidebar (A) or a Smart Tile) automatically creates a new tab in the Workspace with the object opened.

  • To close an object opened in the Workspace, use the cross symbol at the right of the window tab. (B)

    Depending on the window content, use the OK/Cancel/Exit buttons at the bottom of the editor or catalog to leave the window with or without saving the changes. (C)

  • Use the icon in the top left-hand Workspace corner to close all catalogs and editors opened in the Workspace with a single click. (E)

  • Use the 'Maximize' icon (D) in the top right-hand Workspace corner to maximize the Workspace while temporarily hiding other InfoObjects in the perspective.

    When maximized, use the alternative top right-hand icon to restore the Workspace to its original dimensions.

  • Note the absence of the top right-hand icon for closing of the entire InfoObject: As the Workspace InfoObject is the default InfoObject for the Work Page perspective, it cannot be removed.
