The Workspace manager assists the programmer in keeping track of the programs and screens that he/she is working. The Workspace manager provides a permanent extension to the most recently used files wherein the programmer can group programs, libraries, and screens into public or private collections.
The IT Workspace manager supports two types of workspaces collections – Public and Private.
|
Public |
These collections are available to everybody on the system thus are primarily designed for common / collaborative efforts between groups of individuals in the company |
|
Private |
These collections are available to the current user (by user name). This is generally where a program would keep track of files for a specific project or task |
A workspace in itself does not contain the programs/panels but rather a list of file names and/or pointers to the items. The Workspace display allows the programmer to open the item by double clicking the item from the list. Clicking on a program will load the program into the edit window; clicking on a Nomads panel will open the panel for editing; clicking on a library (Nomads library or Program Library) will open the library maintenance utility specific for the type of library selected.
