Workspaces are composed of two types of panels: workspace
panels and popup panels.
Workspace panels are typically used to present data. A workspace
panel can contain up to 15 subpanels. Each subpanel in a workspace
can contain data from a different attribute group or even a different
application. Subpanels can be linked to other workspace panels using
context-sensitive links, so that the data displayed in the target
workspace reflects values in the linked-from workspace (see Figure 1).Figure 1. A workspace with several subpanels
Popup panels overlay workspace panels and are typically used to
provide navigation, action options, or help for a particular field,
or additional information about actions (see Figure 2). Popup panels
are also used to confirm an action. Figure 2. Workspace with popup panel
Workspace and popup panels are created using panel definitions.
Panel definitions are members of a data set allocated to RKANWENU
(the default for English; the ddname is dependent upon the locale
ID). The name of a data set member is the name of the panel it defines.
A panel definition consists of one or more stanzas that specify
the panel type or elements and keyword = value pairs that specify
the appearance and content of the panel.
