The My Workspace administrator sets up pages that include components that are of interest to specific users or groups of users. For each page, the administrator defines the layout of components on the page, and their interaction with one another.
Understanding OMi My Workspace
My Workspace includes the following:
-
Components. Each component is a part of OMi which displays information relevant to users' business tasks; the Component Gallery contains application components that can be used within My Workspace, grouped by their source applications. For details, see Available Components.
You can add components to a page from the Component Gallery. You can also add external URL-based components, which can interact with other components on a page. For details, see Create an external component.
-
Pages. Pages are collections of several components displayed together, interacting with one another.
You can open pages from the Page Gallery, which contains predefined pages grouped by applications. For details, see Predefined Pages.
You can also easily create new pages using both OMi components, and external components. For details, see Set up My Workspace.
-
Wiring. Wiring refers to how components on a page interact with one another. Within a page, components can pass information to one another, so that one component can react to a change in another. For example, you can set up a page so that if you select a CI in one component, the other components on the page focus on that CI as well.
Default pages have wiring predefined; you can also define wiring for non-default pages. For details, see Set up wiring between components.
-
Layout. The layout refers to how components are arranged on a page; components can be arranged horizontally, vertically, and in tabs. For details, see Configure the page layout – Use-Case Scenario.
Working with My Workspace
- To open a page, select the page from the Page Selector drop-down list on the Page Management toolbar, on the upper right area of your workspace. You can also type part of the page name in the Page Selector, to limit the number of pages in the drop-down list.
- To close a page, click the close icon in the upper right corner of the page.
- Depending on your user permissions, you may also be able to create or delete pages, configure page layouts, add or remove components on a page, define how components interact with each other, and edit page and component categories. For details on these options, see Set up My Workspace.
Viewing in an External Portal
You can simply copy a component's URL and paste it to an external portal in order to view OMi information.
