Managing Workspace Views

WhatsUp Gold comes with a few preconfigured workspace "views," including one for Default Remote Sites. You can create more of your own Workspace Views to use along with the preconfigured views. You can create as many as you feel necessary to organize your system for efficient reporting. You can also edit, copy, copy to (another user), and delete these views as needed.

From the Workspace View list, select Manage Workspace Views.

In the Manage Workspace Views dialog, you can create new workspace views, and edit, copy, or delete an existing workspace view.

• Click New to configure a new workspace.
• Select an existing workspace view and click Edit to change the current configuration of a workspace.
• Double-click an existing workspace to change its configuration.
• Select a workspace view, then click Copy to make a copy of that workspace and add it to the list.
• Select a workspace view, then click Copy to to copy an existing workspace from here to another user's list of workspaces.
• Select a workspace monitor view, then click Delete to remove it from the list.
