Workspace Dashboard

The Workspace dashboard enables users to view the list of all workspaces that were created and currently presented in the database. From the workspace dashboard, you can perform various operations on workspaces.

Figure 4 illustrates the workspace dashboard in Siebel Tools.

Explanation of Callouts

Figure 4 includes the following information:

1. The Siebel Tools title bar at the top of the window displays the title that includes the name, the latest version, and the status of the opened workspace. For example:

   Siebel Tools -Siebel Repository -[MAIN/0] - Read Only-

   NOTE:  You have the Editable access on your workspace after you create it, but you have Read only access after you change its status to Submit for Delivery.

2. On the menu bar, the Workspace menu is between the Tools and the Window menus.

   When you select the Workspace menu, a list of different options that are used to configure and manage workspaces appears. This table lists and describes the options under the Workspace menu:

   Option	Description
   Create	Select this option to create a new workspace. For more information, see Creating New Workspaces.
   Checkpoint	Select this option to check in the changes that you made to the current version of the workspace. For more information, see Performing the Checkpoint Version Process.
   Revert	Select this option to revert the changes that you made to the current version of that workspace. For more information, see Reverting to Previous Workspace Versions.
   Rebase	Select this option to apply the changes that were made in the parent workspace into the current workspace. For more information, see Rebasing Workspaces.
   Merge Reports	Select this option to view and resolve the conflicts that occurred during the rebase process. For more information, see Rebasing Workspaces and Detecting Conflicts in Workspaces and Applying Resolutions.
   Submit for Delivery	Select this option to change the status of the workspace and make it ready for delivering the changes to the MAIN workspace. For more information, see Submitting Workspaces for Delivery.
   Deliver	Select this option to deliver the changes in the workspace to the MAIN workspace. NOTE:  This option is available only to the user who is also the owner of the MAIN workspace. For more information, see Delivering Workspaces.
   Compare	Select this option to view the differences that are made to the objects in two selected workspace versions. For more information, see Comparing Workspace Versions.
   Undo Submit for Delivery	Select this option to cancel the workspace delivery process. For more information, see Canceling the Workspace Delivery Process.
   Workspace Explorer	Select this option to display the Workspace explorer pane.

3. The Workspace explorer pane is displayed on the left of the window.

   After you select the Workspace Explorer option under the Workspace menu, this pane appears listing all available workspaces in the database. You can select a workspace and then view the versions of the selected workspace and the list of modified objects for the selected version.

   By default, Siebel Tools opens the latest version of the root workspace and this workspace is set at the session. Also, the root workspace is the only workspace in the Workspace explorer pane and it is always a read-only workspace.

4. The View Mode pane is also displayed on the left of the window, under the Workspace explorer pane. This pane lists the workspace information (including the names, current statuses, and versions) based on the selected filter option in the View Mode drop-down list.

   This table describes the filter options under the View Mode drop-down list:

   Option	Description
   My Workspaces	Select this option to view all workspaces that you own regardless of their status.
   My In-progress Workspaces	Select this option to view the workspaces that you own and that have the status of Edit In Progress.
   All Workspaces	Select this option to view all workspaces that were created by all users of the current development environment.

5. In the Object Explorer pane, most of the object types are workspace-enabled, except the following ones: Table, Task, Workflow, Repository, Type, EIM Table, and Project.
6. The Workspace Version pane lists the versions of the selected workspace and the rebase version information. For more information, see Rebasing Workspaces.
7. The Modified Objects pane lists the objects that were modified in the current version of the workspace. This pane displays the object name, object type, and operation type performed on the modified objects. For more information, see Tracking Repository Object Changes in Workspaces.
