Creating custom workspaces

WebSphere® MQ Monitoring agent displays information in workspaces. A workspace is the working area of the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal application window and is made up of one or more views. A view is a pane in the workspace, typically a chart or table, which displays data that is collected by monitoring agents.

A workspace can be linked to other workspaces. A link is usually context-sensitive; right-click a row in a table or a data series in a chart to link to another workspace that provides more detailed information about one of the attributes in the row or data series.

As you select items in the Navigator view, the workspace presents views that are relevant to your selection. Every workspace has at least one view, and every workspace has a set of properties that are associated with it. You can customize a workspace by working in the Properties editor to change the style and content of each view. Another way to customize a workspace is to change the type of view or to add views to the workspace.
