Setting Up Workspace Templates

This section provides an overview of workspace templates and discusses how to:

Manage workspace templates.
Create workspace templates.
Set workspace template properties.
Select template members.
Select template modules.
Define document module options for a template.
Add or edit related pagelets in a template.
Define contextual data for templates.
Copying changes from templates.
Define template security.
Configure advanced options for templates.

Understanding Workspace Templates

When creating a workspace, you must select a workspace template on which to base the workspace. A workspace template is a model that provides common characteristics for the workspaces built from it. For example, a workspace template can define default workspace modules, the default layout of the workspace homepage, default workspace members and privileges, and the contextual relationships, if applicable.

Three workspace templates are delivered with PeopleSoft Applications Portal:

Base workspace template

The base workspace template provides a basic module configuration in a three-column homepage layout. The other delivered templates are based on this template.
Base workspace template wiki

This template is a variation of the base workspace template. It includes the Wiki Content module instead of the Welcome module and a two-column homepage layout to accommodate wiki content.
Demo workspace template

This template is a variation of the base template. It demonstrates a contextual data relationship between a transaction page (Demo Department Definition page) and an associated workspace.

Note. This template exists in the Demo database only.

A workspace template is a portal registry derived from the delivered workspace base portal template. Using the template administration pages documented in this section, you can define various aspects of this template registry, including security, contextual data, associated workspace modules, and related pagelets.

You can create additional workspace templates to suit your organization's needs. You can create highly or minimally configured templates, depending on their usage. For example, you can create separate templates to meet the needs of project groups, departments, business units, or transaction-based collaborators.
