Concept
Workspace Customization
You customize the workspace layout to control access and meet the specific requirements of a user account group. For example, you hide or show panes and toolbars. You can save a workspace layout on the SmartStruxure server. In this case, the layout becomes the default workspace layout for all users in the user account group the workspace belongs to. Workspaces are task oriented, which means that a user can switch workspaces during a single WorkStation session.
You can configure a workspace to contain a limited number of views to which users have access. Specifically, you can add, edit, move, or remove the following panes and windows:
Advanced Schedule Pane
Alarms Pane
Basic Schedule Pane
Calendar Pane
Events Pane
Function Block Program Pane
Graphic Pane
Multi Trend Log List Pane
Navigation Pane
Panel Pane
System Tree Pane
Trend Chart Pane
Trend Log List Pane
Watch Pane
Work Area Window
For example, you can create a workspace that displays an Alarms pane and a graphic in the work area representing a building.
Customized Navigation
You use the Navigation Pane to build a customized structure for navigation. The Navigation pane can be used in a workspace or a panel.

Workspace Path, Object, and Command Customization
Software permissions limit the paths, objects, and commands that are available in a workspace. For example, a user with No Access permissions for a particular path cannot see any of the path objects displayed in the System Tree pane. A user with Read permissions for a path can see the path objects but cannot issue any commands because the objects are not made available.
