Workspaces

Workspaces provide a single browser window within which you can run all of ExtraView's end-user functions. Within the browser window, a separate panel will be opened for each function. For example, you might open an add screen, an edit screen, and several reports, all at the same time. Each panel has a title bar that contains buttons to control the functions within the window, as well as buttons to minimize, maximize, and close the panel.

A typical workspace

A user may have any number of workspaces, and each may contain different panels. The user may save the state of the workspaces, and these will be restored when they reopen each workspace. The workspace is provided as an alternative user interface to the traditional user interface. With permission, the user may start their ExtraView session in the traditional interface, or within the workspace interface. The user may also switch between the interfaces. At this time, the ExtraView Administration functions will not appear within a workspace window and will always use a separate browser window.
