Create and manage Workspaces

Workspaces are a collection of different Workspace Pages consisting of customized Widgets that provide key information on a per user basis. Each user can create a personal Workspace with multiple Pages to track the information they need to monitor specific customers. A single Workspace Page can contain multiple Widgets to track things like the assigned customer's asset details, a list of tickets, contacts, locations, or service items.

Stay organized by creating and customizing Workspaces for each of your assigned customers and view only the tickets, assets and service items for that one customer, for example. With the Workspace grid, you can shape and re-size the Widgets on each page as needed, and add as many Widgets to each workspace that you need.

Managers can also create Chart Widgets to track ticket progress, view specific user statistics or a real-time work time line for selected users to keep a close eye on progress.

Initially, a default workspace is automatically created as a starting point and an example of the types of data you can configure and track from a workspace dashboard. Select Export as Personal to copy and export the default workspace as your own Personal Workspace. This is a way to customize the pages and widgets displayed in the default workspace, and also to get familiar with how to edit and customize workspaces.
