Context

When the enterprise workspaces add-on of SAP NetWeaver Portal is installed, the top-level navigation bar in your portal includes an entry named Workspaces containing the Workspace Directory. This is your entry point to all of the workspaces and their content.

  • To open a workspace, choose the workspace name.

  • To return to the Workspace Directory from an open workspace, choose Workspace Directory.

Note

In addition, if your system administrator has configured this, you can directly access your personal workspace or the Workspace Directory from the main menu in the portal masthead. From the main portal menu, choose Start of the navigation path Social Hub Next navigation step Enterprise Workspaces End of the navigation path and then choose My Personal Workspace or Workspace Directory, respectively.

In the Workspace Directory you can see:

  • A list of all of the workspaces in the portal. This includes all public and restricted workspaces.

    In the workspace directory you can search for workspaces by name and description. You can sort the Workspace Directory by Name or Creation Date.

    Note

    Personal and private workspaces are not displayed in the Workspace Directory.

  • The Filter Workspaces panel. Your administrator can define categories that you can use to filter the list of workspaces in the Workspace Directory. Choose a category value to display only those workspaces that belong to the selected category. You can choose more than one category and more than one value in each category.
