20 Manage Workspaces

Workspace management has been streamlined by providing a single view of all the workspaces. This module also allows all users (Administrators and Non-administrators) to view each workspace in a centralized space. With manage storage functionality, you can receive information on space consumption in the application and take necessary actions to clear the unwanted workspace or files. You can periodically check the space consumption and take actions. It offers to view size of each workspace, create date, time, and so on for each workspace. You can access the Manage Workspace window from the Manage Plans button located above the Recent Plans list. Figure 20-1 shows where the Manage Workspace is accessed from Recent Plans list.

Manage Workspaces Table

Manage Workspaces can be accessed by all users. Administrators have visibility to all workspaces in the environment and each individual user has visibility to see all the workspaces created by the corresponding user. The table displays the following fields:

• Workspace

• Template

• Last Refreshed

• Last Built

• Created By

• Built Time

• Size (of the workspace)

This table helps users manage the workspaces in one central location and provides better utilization of the disk space.
