Workspaces

Workspaces provide a single browser window within which you can run all of ExtraView's functions. Within the browser window, a separate panel is 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

If the administrator has given you permission to use workspaces, you may have any number of workspaces, and each may contain different panels. You may save the state of the workspaces, and these will be restored when you reopen them.

Setting Your Start Point in ExtraView

The workspace is provided as an alternative user interface to the traditional user interface. With permission, you may start your ExtraView session in the traditional interface, or within the workspace interface. You may also switch between the interfaces.


Setting where you start in ExtraView

Use your personal account options to set the screen where you would like to start your ExtraView session.

Workspace Navigation

A typical workspace navigation menu looks like the following screenshot. As you open new workspace panels, an icon for each will be added to the navigation menu. You may click on any of these icons to bring the panel represented to the top of your workspace.

The Home Menu

When you access your Home Menu, you are shown a popup panel that allows the following to take place. Not all the options will be available, if your adminstrator has not granted you access.

  • Access your personal account details by clicking on your name
  • A select list that allows you to change your current role
  • A select list that allows you to change your current business area and current project
  • A drilldown box into which you can enter one or more issue ID's. When you press Enter, a detailed view of these issues will be opened. If you are entering multiple issue ID's, then separate them by a semi-colon
