Work Page

Work Page is a mandatory perspective available for each business view. As this perspective contains the Workspace InfoObject, it is where all work with catalogs and editors is done.

• Standard predefined Work Pages often contain the Sidebar InfoObject and always contain the Workspace InfoObject. Workspace is mandatory, Sidebar can be removed.
• Other types of InfoObjects can be added, removed and rearranged.
• Calling an action or opening a catalog from the Start Page automatically switches to the Work Page.
• Work Page is the default perspective displayed when another perspective cannot be found during business view switching.
• Work Page is sometimes also referred to as Working Area or Valuemation desktop.

Basic Workspace operations

The Workspace InfoObject provides these useful functions:

• Close all opened windows

  Use the icon in the top left-hand Workspace corner (A) to close all catalogs and editors opened in the Workspace.

• Maximize Workspace

  Use the icon in the top right-hand Workspace corner (B) to maximize the Workspace (temporarily hide other InfoObjects in the perspective). When maximized, use the top right-hand icon (C) to restore the Workspace to its original dimensions.

• Close individual windows

  Use the "cross" symbols at the right of the window tabs (D) to close individual windows.
  (Or, 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.)
