Overview of workspaces and perspectives
All work in BMC Workbench is performed within workspaces. You can define as many workspaces as you need, and no other users can view or edit your workspaces. You can create a workspace template, which others can use to create workspaces with the same set of views. After you create a workspace, it is available in the classic BMC Workbench interface or in the mobile interface.
Each workspace has several perspectives. A perspective contains command options to perform a set of tasks. The perspective displays results relating to different objects or statements in user-defined views. For example, you might define a view to display a subset of DB2 objects in the DB2 Navigator perspective. Performing certain actions on an object can automatically switch the perspective and open the corresponding view to display the relevant content.
During a session, you can save a workspace at any time and return to it later in that session or another session. Workspace filters preserve your working environment. Consequently, you can partially complete a task (such as tuning SQL), save your workspace, and address another task that requires immediate attention; when time permits, you can return to your saved tuning session and continue creating What-If scenarios.
