A Workspace is a container for Processes, Process Elements, and Associations content. One workspace can contain multiple process versions. One specific process version is marked as the valid version and one specific version is the working version.

A workspace is a container where your process resides. You will typically see a related set of workflows (process) organized in a given workspace.

Additionally, a workspace will also contain settings to configure and manage the process in that workspace.

It is important to understand that workspace contains process that people collaborate on. Workspace does not belong to any user, but is created to house (model, use and execute) a process. Depending on the permissions, user(s) may be able to take specific actions, including modeling or just viewing of a process, in a workspace.

Another point to be noted is that when a process is versioned, all the workflows that make up the process in the given workspace are versioned at one go. You can read more about versioning here.

Any given workspace will have following structure. (Depending on user permissions, you may or may not see all of the below content)

Home: This is the common landing page customized for your organization. Irrespective of which workspace you are in, you can always view this landing page by clicking on Home.

Process: This is the area within a workspace where the process resides. As a Stages user or modeler, this is where you will be modeling your process.

Management: Using management, Process can be managed in terms of compliance, descriptions, tailoring, adding process modules, versioning the process, defining metamodel and process kind.

Reports: This houses default and custom reports for the given workspace.

Administration: Stages administrator will have access to this area to manage user and workspace related administrative settings.
