Defining the Layout of a Workspace
To define how the windows within a workspace can be positioned, define the workspace layout. There are two types of layouts:
*Column layout. In this layout, all the windows in a workspace are aligned in columns. Windows cannot overlap within a column. You can define a workspace to have one, two, three, or four columns.
*Free Form layout. In this layout, you can place windows on the workspace in any location. Windows can overlap and even completely cover one another. This is the default for a new workspace.
For instructions for adding windows to a workspace, see:
*Adding Tools to a Workspace
*Adding Windows from Application Pages to a Workspace
*Adding Windows from a Workspace to Another Workspace
For instructions for how to position windows within a workspace, see Positioning Windows in a Workspace.
Note: To define or update the layout for a workspace you must either be the owner of the workspace, or if you are using a workspace that another user has shared with you, you must have “View and Modify” or “Full Control” permissions to the workspace. If you have “View Only” permission to a workspace, you can change the layout; however, you cannot save the changes; as a result, when you leave the workspace, it will revert to its previous state. For more information about sharing workspaces, see Sharing Workspaces.
* To define the layout of a workspace
1. Click Menu icon on the tab for the workspace and select Workspace Properties.
2. Select the Layout tab.
3. From the Columns list, select layout that you want to use for the workspace.
4. If you select One Column, Two Columns, Three Columns or Four Columns, you can set additional properties for each column in the layout.
a. In the Width field type the percentage of the workspace to use for the column. By default the percentages are set for evenly spaced columns.
b. Select the Word Wrap check box if you want My webMethods attempt to wrap long text lines within windows in the workspace to fit the window size. Clear the check box if you do not want long lines to wrap.
Allowing long lines to wrap helps to better fit windows within columns.
c. From the Horizontal Alignment list select how the windows should be aligned horizontally in the column. By default, My webMethods left aligns the windows in each column.
d. From the Vertical Alignment list select how the windows should be aligned vertically in the column. By default, My webMethods aligns the windows at the top of each column.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Menu icon on the tab for the workspace and select Save Workspace to save your changes.
