Workspace

The Workspace is the main editing and viewing area in SEI. It opens whenever you create or edit a visualization, and its layout adapts based on the type you are working with. Each open visualization appears in its own tab, so you can switch between several at once without losing your work.

It is not a fixed layout. A view gives you a field organizer at the top and a toolbar on the side. A dashboard focuses on arranging and connecting multiple views together. A report groups worksheets from different data models into one place. A workbook adds a full ribbon with spreadsheet-style tools. In every case, the Content Area is where you work with the data, and changes show up immediately as you make them.

Workspace Overview

What you can do in the workspace​

  • View and edit visualizations directly in the content area, with changes reflected immediately.
  • Apply filters and sort data to narrow down what is displayed in a view or dashboard.
  • Customize the appearance and layout of any visualization, including field arrangement, display options, and formatting.
  • Work on multiple visualizations at once by switching between open tabs without closing anything.
  • Access the right tools for each type as the Workspace layout changes automatically based on what you are editing.

Workspace layouts​

Each visualization type has its own layout with a specific set of components. Select a tab below to see what is available for each one.

View workspace​

The view workspace has three components:

  • View Organizer to add, remove, and arrange the fields that make up the view.
  • Content Area where you interact with the view, apply filters, and adjust how data is displayed.
  • Toolbar to access configuration, display, and sharing options.
