Creating business spaces

To contain a collection of related pages, you can create a business space.

To create a space:

  1. If the Business Space Manager is not open, click Manage Business Spaces. The Business Space Manager lists the spaces that you have access to and the pages that they contain.
  2. In the Business Space Manager toolbar, click the create space icon . The Create New Business Space window opens.
  3. Type the name for the new space and then select one of the following options:
    • Empty, which creates an empty space to which you can add pages and widgets.
    • From a template, which creates a space that contains the pages and widgets that the template defines. Each template supports one or more scenarios by providing the widgets you need for the scenarios and organizing the widgets on the pages. You can add and remove pages and widgets to create your own custom space.
    • From existing Business Space, which creates a copy of an existing space. You can then add and remove pages and widgets to create your own custom space.
  4. Click OK. The window closes. If you created the business space from a template, Business Space opens the new space. Otherwise, the Business Space Manager updates to include the space that you created.
If you created an empty space, create at least one page to contain widgets. If you used a template or copied an existing space, the space contains a page. You can now customize the space by changing who owns the space, who can see the space and the appearance of the space.
