Workspaces

The first thing we encounter when entering the web platform is workspaces: workspaces to group our dashboards.

Creating a Workspace

There are two ways to create a workspace:

Click on the ‘NEW WORKSPACE’ button.
Access the workspaces and dashboards menu, and click on the ‘+ New workspace’ button.

Configuration

You can:

Give it a name and description, choose an identifying icon, and set a background color.
Enable/disable different actions that can be performed within the context of the workspace. This will determine which wizards are accessible from the various workspace menus and their dashboards.
Redirect actions to a specific wizard, as long as more than one wizard can perform that action.
Configure quick access to widgets.
Manage the templates that will be used within the workspace’s context.

Once you have created your workspace, you can start creating your panels with their various widgets.

Actions

+ Dashboard: Create a new dashboard
Import dashboard: Import a dashboard into the workspace
Delete dashboards: Delete the selected dashboards
Information: Information about the workspace
Edit: Open the workspace editing wizard
Share: Share the workspace with another user or with the entire organization. From here, you can also stop sharing the workspace if it is already shared with another person or organization
Reorganize: Reorganize the view of dashboards
Export workspace: Export the workspace in zip format. It will contain a JSON file with the workspace configurations that you can later import. You can also configure which elements to export from the workspace.
Capture screen: Screen capture
Delete: Delete the dashboard.

From the workspace view, you can also perform various actions such as exporting and importing workspaces, configuring certain data related to your user and organization, viewing notifications, and accessing various sections of the web: Opengate Web Management, Operations Support System, Devices emulator, and Analytics.

The following details these actions.

Export/Import Workspaces

The web has the capability to export and import workspaces.

Export

From the actions menu of the home, select the Export workspaces option.
A panel will appear that allows you to export the workspaces in zip format. It will contain a JSON file with the workspace configurations that you can later import. You can also configure which elements to export from the workspace.

Import

From the actions menu of the home, select the Import workspaces option.
A panel will appear that allows you to import workspaces. You can also configure which elements to import from the workspaces to import.

Web Preferences

User Data

From the actions menu, clicking on the user’s email will allow you to access a panel that allows you to modify your user’s data:

General: Displays information related to our user
Data: from here, you can modify your user’s data
Password: from here, you can modify your password

Organization Data

From the actions menu, clicking on the organization’s name will allow you to access a panel that allows you to modify your organization’s data related to the web.

Themes: allows the selection of the color and overall appearance of the website.
Organization Logo: where an identifying image can be uploaded that will always be displayed on the navigation bar of the website.
Permissions: here you can view/configure new roles for your organization’s web based on OpenGate’s original profiles.
Other Configs: here, specific parameters can be configured that will affect the content displayed across the website
- Google Key enables the use of Google’s localization tools. For example, in the tracking widget, it enables route calculations for device location points.
- Weather Key allows activation of weather layers in the map widget. A free key can be created at OpenWeatherMaps.
- Date Formatting this allows setting the desired format for the dates displayed across the website (to the extent possible). This relies on Moment.js.
- Storage Limit indicates the maximum storage available for uploading files to the organization. With sufficient permissions, this can be modified.
