Work with My Workplace

The My Workplace page provides a portal view to several pages at one time and can include a portlet for external websites, such as your corporate website. In the standard Workplace XT pages, you can only see one page at a time. The My Workplace portal can display several tools on a single page. Thus, you could quickly view items in your Inbox, browse an object store, review search results, review the list of your active launched workflows, review the list of work items in a specific public inbox, and see the Author tools all at the same time.

The following graphic shows a sample My Workplace page with a Browse portlet and an Inbox portlet. In this example, the Browse portlet is named "My Browse", and the Inbox portlet is named "My Inbox."

Sample My Workplace page

The content and appearance of the pages in My Workplace depend on your site configuration. Your site administrator determines which portlets are available for you to add to your own My Workplace pages, and your administrator can create site-wide My Workplace pages for specific groups to access. The following table lists the differences between personal pages and group-accessible My Workplace pages.
