General configuration
By default, the workspace editing panel will open on the General configuration tab. In the General configuration tab, you can configure the following parts of your workspace:
You may also use the General tab to delete a workspace. Deleting a workspace is in the “Danger Zone” as it is a permanent action that cannot be undone.
Workspace name and description
Each workspace has a name and a description. A workspace’s name is always displayed in the top left corner of the workspace interface as part of the navigation menu dropdown. If a user has access to multiple workspaces, the navigation menu displays the name and description of each available workspace.
We recommend using clear and concise workspace names and descriptions; as a best practice, choose a naming convention that makes sense and is understandable to the intended users of the workspace.
Discoverable modules
In the Discoverable modules section, you can control the list of modules for which the Open In action is available in Object Explorer. Learn more about configuring module discovery.
Appearance
You can override the organization-level light/dark theme in the Appearance section. To do so, check the Manage appearance box and select which theme you would like the workspace to be displayed in. If the Manage appearance box is not checked, the organization-level setting will be used.
External links
In the External links section, you can override the links to resources outside of Carbon that are listed in the Navigation Menu when a user is viewing the current workspace.
To do so, check the Manage external links box and add the desired links along with an optional section title that will be displayed at the top of the list. The Copy from Organization button will populate the list with the external links set at the organization level, which you can add or remove.
Menu bar utilities
In the Menu bar utilities section, you can customize the actions available in the upper right corner of the workspace.
If the Show Academy box is checked, the Help and Support button in the menu bar will include a link to Foundry Academy. If the Show Notifications box is checked, a notifications button will be displayed in the menu bar and display the user's recent Foundry notifications.
Search bar
When a workspace is created, by default there is an Ontology-aware search bar on the home page that can be used to discover objects, object types, and other object resources, such as Explorations and Workshop modules.
In the Search bar section, you can choose to hide the search bar from the workspace home page. Alternatively, to create a more customized experience for the intended users of a workspace, you can add default search filters to the search bar. This will narrow the search down to certain object types or search groups that are most relevant to the users of the workspace. Users can change or remove these filters in the dropdown on the left side of the search bar.
Delete workspace
In the Danger zone section, you can delete a workspace by selecting the Delete workspace button.
Deletion of a workspace is permanent and cannot be undone. Be very careful before deleting a workspace.
Selecting Delete workspace will present a confirmation screen; if you confirm the deletion by selecting Delete, the workspace will be immediately deleted. After deleting the workspace, you will be redirected back to your default Carbon workspace.
