Layout area is used to designate an area on a Workspace page where content can be placed. Each layout area is independent, and can be resized and overlap. Layout areas also have properties that can be modified, see Editing Layout Area. Each layout area can be positioned anywhere within the content area. Toolbars are used to perform functions such as editing the properties, maximizing and restoring, deleting, and launching the layout area as another tab within EPM Workspace.
You can add layout areas to an existing Workspace page by dragging and dropping repository content from the Content Browser into the Content area. Additional content includes: URL, Favorites, Alerts/Exceptions and Applications. URL is used to specify any URL as the source location for the content. Users should not add URLs to untrusted sites for security purposes. Favorites displays the user's favorites within EPM Workspace. This provides quick access to a user's Favorite repository. Alerts content displays the alerts or exceptions that are generated by Interactive Reporting and Production Reporting. Applications display the list of applications provisioned for the user. Users can also add a folder to the content area by dragging and dropping a folder from the Content Browser. Links to files contained within the folder are displayed which when selected launches the file as a tab in EPM Workspace. Subfolders are not listed.
