Workspace Management¶
Data in the database are saved into workspaces.
Each workspace contains its own list of tables with data in the database.
The Database Manager Utility support maintaining workspaces of the database.
Create new workspace¶
Select New... to create a new workspace on a database.
Select the database to create the workspace in and name the workspace.
A description of the workspace is optional.
Is shared indicates whether a workspace can be shared with other user roles. If the workspace is not shared, only administrators have access to the workspace.
Export workspace¶
A single workspace can be exported into a file on disk.
Select Export... and specify the database and workspace of the database to export.
The workspace will be saved into the file specified.
Click Export to start the export.
Import workspace¶
Workspace export files can be imported into a new workspace.
Select Import... and select the database to import the workspace into.
Specify a workspace to restore the workspace into (note that the workspace shouldn't exist) and specify a file to import.
Associate users to a workspace¶
Users should be associated to workspaces to allow them to login to a workspace.
Select Users... and specify the database and workspace to associate users to.
A user can have one of the following roles on a workspace.
- None: The user is not allowed to login and use the workspace.
- Workspace_reviewer: The user can view data, but not add, edit or delete data.
- Workspace_member: Can add, edit and delete data and set symbology for GIS data.
- Workspace_lead: Has the same access as Workspace_member and can maintain time series and GIS providers.
Refer to the system manager documentation for more information about user roles and authorization.
Remove a workspace¶
To remove a workspace permanently, select Remove... and select the database and workspace of the database to remove.
Click Remove to remove the workspace and accept the dialog.
