Workspace Pages

Each workspace has a workspace page, located at parenturl/workspacename, where parenturl is the location of the workspace's parent, and workspacename is the name of the workspace. For example, The workspace named articles in the info source at https://www.lacibus.net is at https://www.lacibus.net/info/articles and its sub-workspace named 2022 is at https://www.lacibus.net/info/articles/2022.

On a workspace page, you can: 

Create a Page, View, or Sub-Workspace

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Add icon
  2. Enter the name of the page, view, or sub-workspace
  3. Select the type as Page, View, or Workspace
  4. Select the read access level
  5. Select the write access level
  6. Click Proceed icon
Upload a File

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Add icon
  2. Enter the name of the file. If you want it to display correctly when you click its name in the workspace, you should end the name with the right filename extension: .txt for text files, .jpeg for JPEG images, and so on
  3. Select the type as File
  4. Select the read access level
  5. Select the write access level
  6. Click Choose file and select the file you want to upload from your PC
  7. Click Proceed icon
Rename a Page, View, File, or Sub-Workspace

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Edit icon for the page, view, file or sub-workspace that you want to rename
  2. Change the Name field
  3. ClickProceed icon
Delete a Page, View, File, or Sub-Workspace

Note that you cannot delete a sub-workspace that has sub-workspaces: you must delete them first.

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Remove icon for the page, view, file, or sub-workspace that you want to delete.
  2. Click OK in the confirm dialog.
Change the Access Levels of a Page, View, File, or Sub-Workspace

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Edit icon for the page, view, file or sub-workspace that you want to change
  2. Select the read access level
  3. Select the write access level
  4. Click Proceed icon
Change the Type of a Page, View, or Sub-Workspace

If you mistakenly create a page instead of a view or sub-workspace, you can change its type so long as it does not have any content. Similarly, you can change the type of an empty view or sub-workspace. You cannot change the type of a file that has been uploaded.

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Edit icon for the page, view or workspace that you want to change
  2. Select the type that you want it to have
  3. Click Proceed icon
Move or Copy a Page, View, or File

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Move or copy icon for the page, view, or file that you want to move or copy
  2. Select as Target Parent the workspace to which you want to move or copy it.
  3. Select as Target Name the name that you want it to have when moved or that you want its copy to have
  4. Select the operation to perform: COPY preserving write levels, COPY at session write level, or MOVE preserving write levels
  5. Click Proceed icon
  6. A dialog will appear indicating whether the move or copy succeeded
  7. Click OK

Note that you cannot move a page, view or file to a workspace in another source.

With COPY preserving write levels and MOVE preserving write levels, the copied or moved items will have the same read and write access levels as the originals. The operation will fail if you would not then have write access to them. This can be inconvenient if, for example, you want to copy something that you don't have write access to. You can use the COPY at session write level operation in this case. The write access levels of the copied items will then be your current access level. The read access levels will be unchanged.

Move or Copy a Sub-Workspace

On a workspace page:

  1. Click Move or copy icon for the sub-workspace that you want to move or copy
  2. Select as Target Parent the workspace to which you want to move or copy it, or the source to which you want to copy it
  3. Select as Target Name the name that you want it to have when moved, or that you want its copy to have
  4. Select the operation to perform: COPY preserving write levels, COPY at session write level, or MOVE preserving write levels
  5. Click Proceed icon
  6. A dialog will appear indicating whether the move or copy succeeded
  7. Click OK

Note that you cannot move a sub-workspace to a workspace in another source or to be a main workspace.

With COPY preserving write levels and MOVE preserving write levels, the copied or moved items will have the same read and write access levels as the originals. The operation will fail if you would not then have write access to them. This can be inconvenient if, for example, you want to copy something that you don't have write access to. You can use the COPY at session write level operation in this case. The write access levels of the copied items will then be your current access level. The read access levels will be unchanged.

Navigate to a Page, File, View, or Sub-workspace

On a workspace page:

  1. Click the name of a page, file, view, or sub-workspace
  2. You will go to the page, file, view, or sub-workspace whose name you clicked.
