- Tutorial: Defining a workspace
- Starting Workspace Administration Mode
  Typically, workspaces you create are saved with your user ID and no other users can see them. You can turn on administration mode so that all workspaces you edit and save while in this mode are shared with all users who log on to the same Marvel Enterprise Portal Server.
- Workspace Properties
- Creating a New Workspace
  You can create a new workspace from any existing workspace. The new workspace is associated with the same Navigator item as the original workspace. You cannot save a new workspace if your user ID does not have Workspace Author Mode permission.
- Saving a Workspace
  You must save a workspace to maintain the changes you make to the workspace properties; otherwise, the changes you have made are lost.
- Editing a Workspace
  Use the Properties editor to change the general characteristics of a workspace and to edit the style and content of any of its views. You can delete or restore the original version of an edited workspace through the File menu.
- Renaming a Workspace
  You can rename a workspace to better suit your environment.
- Deleting or Restoring a Workspace
  You can delete a workspace of your creation and restore the original version of a predefined workspace or one created by the administrator.
- Defining Links between Workspaces
  - Creating a New Link
    Use the link wizard to define a link from a Navigator item, graphic view, or query-based view that opens the targeted workspace in the same or new windows.
  - Testing the Link
    You can test the link you have created to ensure that it works correctly.
  - Editing a Link Definition
    You can edit a link definition after it has been created.
  - Deleting a Link Definition
    You can delete a link definition when it is no longer useful.
  - Adding or Editing a Link Anchor
    You can add or edit a link anchor by using the Link Anchor Properties editor to hide the link indicator, disable it for table rows that do not meet the link criteria, and to assign a different default link or no default link.
  - Link Examples
    Review these link examples for ideas on how to use the Link Wizard to build links between workspaces.

Testing the Link

You can test the link you have created to ensure that it works correctly.

To test a link you have created:

In the source workspace, right-click the location where you created the link.
Click Link To and select the link from the list. The value of the symbols specified in the link definition are used to select the target workspace and filter its content. An example is a link from a row in a view that includes the Process Name, and the value of Process Name is passed to the target workspace. The view whose symbol was targeted will show information about that particular process.
If the target workspace does not display what you expected or a Target not found message is displayed, edit the link.

Tip: If you were prompted to select the target workspace but wanted the link definition to be specific so you would not have to choose from a list, do one of two things: If you had chosen Relative as the link type, define a new link and select a link type of Absolute; or make it Dynamic and supply the expression in the target filter to target the specific workspace.
