However, ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications does provide a set of predefined workspaces, which do not require customization. The following list shows the order and hierarchy of the predefined workspaces provided by the ITCAM Agent for WebSphere Applications. It is a representation of how the predefined workspaces are organized in the Navigator. For more detailed information about a workspace, click its name in the table.
