Business spaces

A business space is a collection of related web content that provides you with insight into your business and the capability to react to changes in it.

In Business Space, you can have many business spaces with each one having a different purpose. For example, a business space with widgets from Business Monitor might be used to monitor key performance indicators in your business and widgets from Business Process Manager to manage the tasks performed by people. Business Space can display the contents of one business space at a time. This space is the open space.

The open space consists of a banner area and a page area. The top of the banner consists of menus and links. The menus contain options that affect the open business space or options for navigating to another space. The links in the top banner go to the help or log you out of Business Space. Below the menus, the banner area displays the name of the open space and tabs for the pages in the space. The page area is below the banner and displays an open page. The tab for the page is highlighted.

If you are the owner of the open page or an editor, there is also an Edit Page button. When you click Edit Page, the editing toolbar opens. The toolbar contains the palette of widgets and several buttons. The buttons enable you to see the hidden widgets on the page and to save changes. The toolbar also contains two fields that you can use to filter widgets from the palette. One field removes all widgets that do not belong to a selected category while the other removes all widgets that do not contain the characters that you specify in their name or description.

The page area is where Business Space displays the visible widgets on the page.
