Adding Windows from Application Pages to a Workspace
You can add windows from application pages to your workspaces. This is useful when the information in the application pertains to the data you are placing in a workspace. For example, if you have a workspace to track information about new employees and you have a business process in place for managing the tasks related to new hires, you might add application page windows that are related to the new hire business process.
If the window you want to add to a workspace is wired (connected) to another window on the application page, My webMethods breaks that connection so that the window can stand alone on the workspace page. The window keeps its preferences that were set at the time you added it to the workspace.
For example, if you add a search results window to a workspace, My webMethods breaks the connection between the search panel and the search results. Its preferences are set to the search criteria that were used to retrieve the search results. The search results panel added to a workspace will continue to reflect the results for the search criteria.
If more items match the criteria, the search results will show more items. If less items match the criteria, the search results will show less items. However, keep in mind that My webMethods caches search results. So to update the search results in a tab, you must take an action that causes My webMethods to update the window on the workspace, such as closing and re-opening the workspace.
Note: | To add new content to a workspace you must be either 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 for the workspace. For more information about sharing workspaces, see Sharing Workspaces. |
