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.

Before you begin

To delete or restore a workspace, your user ID must have Workspace Author Mode permission.

About this task

Tivoli Enterprise Portal features enable you to create and edit your own workspaces. You can also edit predefined workspaces and those created by the system administrator (unless they are protected).

Deleting a workspace

About this task

Use the following steps to delete a workspace:

Procedure

Open the workspace you want to delete. You cannot delete predefined workspaces. As well, you cannot delete workspaces that were created in workspace administration mode unless you are currently in workspace administration mode.
Click File > Delete Workspace. This item is disabled if the workspace is predefined, was created in administration mode and your user ID is not currently in workspace administration mode, or if the workspace properties item Do Not Allow Modifications is selected.
Note: When you delete a workspace, all link definitions that reference it will be deleted also.
When a confirmation message is displayed, click Yes to delete the current workspace or No if you change your mind. The default workspace for that Navigator item displays.

Restoring the original workspace

About this task

If you have edited a predefined workspace or one created in administration mode, you can always restore the original version. To restore the original workspace, complete the following procedure:

Procedure

Open the predefined or administration-mode-created workspace you want to restore. If you want to retain the original and edited versions as two separate workspaces, select Save As from the File menu and give the workspace a new name, then repeat this step.
Click File > Restore Original Workspace. This item is disabled if the original predefined or administrator-created workspace is already displaying or if this is a workspace created with your user ID.
When a confirmation message is displayed, click Yes to restore the original workspace or No if you change your mind. The workspace reverts to its original state.
