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.

1. Open a workspace at the Navigator level for which you want the new workspace to be available.
2. Click Save Workspace As in the File menu.
3. Type a name for the new workspace.
   The workspace is saved with the new name and the original left unchanged.
4. Perform any of the following task to customize the workspace:
   • Add a new view by splitting an existing view into two separate views.
   • Change the dimensions of the views by dragging the borders between them.
   • Change a view to a different type, such as from a notepad view to a browser view.
   • Rearrange views by clicking a view's title bar and dragging it another view space. When you release the mouse button, the views switch position.
   • Edit the general Properties of the workspace, such as making it the default workspace.
   • Edit the Properties of the individual views to control what data to display and the styling.
   • Build a link to another workspace so that you can link to the other workspace from this one at any time.
5. When you are finished editing a workspace, click Save.
   The saved workspace is associated with your Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal user ID. Users with a different ID will not see your changes.

   The workspace is available to all systems with items of the same affinity. For example, if you create a new workspace for your Windows agent then all systems with that monitoring agent will be able to open the new workspace.
