8.1 About myWorkspace

The myWorkspace is a personal workspace to develop and work with CIs, before pushing them into production. It is also a great space for developing searches and reports that you are not ready to share with other users. myWorkspace can be used for:

  • Getting a head start defining CMDB components that are not yet in production

  • Creating a basic CI type for a popular CMDB component that can be copied out to multiple communities and then customized

  • Creating standard type searches and reports that can be used as “templates” that are further customized when copied into a community

  • Developing searches and reports that are not visible to community members until they are finalized

The myWorkspace area is a great place to try things offline, in a place where only you have access. However, what do you do if you need multiple people contributing to developmental items? Create a new community that is Private, then invite only those members that will contribute before publication. The private community can never be made public but is a perfect development area to support your active communities.
