Use the Navigator to
open the default workspace for the
selected item, then the Workspace Gallery to see
and select from a thumbnail display of available workspaces.
Before you begin
As well as a convenient
way to open workspaces, you can also
move the workspaces around the gallery to change their order. The
changes you make are saved with the workspace definition for the Navigator
item. If you are in workspace administration mode when you reorder
the thumbnail graphics, the reorganization will be reflected in the
workspace gallery of all Tivoli Enterprise Portal clients connected
to this Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server.
About this task
Every item
in the Navigator has a workspace associated with
it, called the
default workspace. Some items have multiple
workspaces that you can open, although only one workspace can be open
in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal window at one time. Some workspaces
are only accessible by linking to them from another workspace.
Procedure
- To open the default workspace, click the
item name or icon
in the Navigator:
- Physical view:
, 
, 
, 
, or 
.
- Logical view or
other custom Navigator view: .
The default workspace for that item is displayed, replacing
the workspace of the previously selected item. If the workspace shows
no data for a chart or table view, it means there is no data to display.
This can occur with monitoring data that is not constantly generated,
such as Archive Errors, which collects data only when archive errors
occur.
- To open another
workspace associated with
the Navigator item:
- Click
Workspace gallery.
- Click the thumbnail graphic of the
workspace to open. (To open the workspace in a new window
instead of replacing
the current workspace, use Ctrl + Shift + click the thumbnail graphic.)
If this is a new installation, you
will see the
splash screen instead of a thumbnail version of the workspace in the
gallery until you or another user who is logged on to the same Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server opens the workspace for the first time. A 
check mark by a
workspace name indicates that it is the default workspace for this
Navigator item. You can reorder the workspaces in your copy of the
gallery by clicking a thumbnail graphic and dragging it on top of
the workspace to swap positions with.
