21 Manage Workspaces
Workspace management has been streamlined by providing a single view of all the workspaces. This module also allows all users (Administrator and non-administrator) to view each workspace in a centralized space. With manage storage functionality, you can get the information on the space consumption in the application and you can take necessary actions to clear the unwanted workspace or files. You can periodically check the space consumption and take actions. It offers view size of each workspace, create date, time and so on for each workspace. You can access the Manage Workspace window from the button available on the top of Recent plan list. Figure 21-1 shows how the Manage Workspace is accessed from the Recent Plans list.
