Explore the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Studio


Create an engaging workplace page in the Studio by using one of the templates or create a page from scratch. The workplace studio provides components and a design canvas to create pages. Each component has properties that you can set and modify, giving you full control over the design, layout, and appearance of a page. 

The following image is a visual guide to creating a page and making it available to your end users, and shows the current step that you are on:

What can I expect when I undo or redo my changes?

The workspace studio incorporates a two-second delay before recording a new set of changes in the undo and redo history. So, when you make quick changes in succession, the studio groups them together in a single action. As a result, if you want to undo or redo such changes, you will revert or reapply multiple modifications at once. However, this delay is designed specifically for grouping minor adjustments; for example, updates to the component properties. When you introduce significant changes, such as adding, moving, and deleting components or rows, these major modifications are instantly added to the history as distinct actions. 

Also, the undo and redo history includes only the last 50 changes. 


Page components

Page components are the building blocks of a page. You  create your page, one component at a time. Each component has a set of configurable properties.

The component palette contains the following components:

Asset Group

When a service request is processed and closed and it has some service actions configured, it is shown on the My Stuff page. Use Asset Groups to display closed service requests and assets provisioned to end users. An asset group is a logical group of services with associated service actions and assets. End users can view and access service actions from the Actions list of a service or an asset on their studio page, similar to how they do on the My Stuff page.

Catalog Banner

Content Block

Content Blocks are containers where you can add images, text, buttons, background color in a flexible responsive way. Embed videos or add the on-click action to backgrounds, background images, and buttons that link to the URLs where you want your users to go or link to pages and resources.

Events

Events are the records of user actions and requests. Event types can be approvals, appointments, or service requests. You add an events component to display the requests for the logged-in user, whether for self or on behalf of another user or to get a view of the current and past events.

Search Bar

The search bar enables your users to quickly find what they are looking for. You can configure search bars to restrict the search to selected sources to narrow search results and make them more relevant, and to personalize the user experience.
