Working in HOPEX
Workspace Types and Updates
According to the Solutions in which you work, or to your rights, you access your HOPEX desktop in:
• a public workspace
• a private workspace
• a read-only workspace
What is my workspace type?
Your profile defines the desktop in which you are working. This desktop defines the type of workspace in which you are working.
At connexion, when you select your profile:
• the "Create a private workspace” message indicates that you are going to work in a private workspace.
• nothing is indicated when you select a profile with which you are going to work in a public workspace.
Public workspace
In some desktops you work in a public workspace. You can perform modifications. Your modifications are automatically saved (each time you are switching to another page). Your modifications are available for other users that are connected in the same way.
Desktop examples: HOPEX IT Portfolio Management, HOPEX Explore (edit mode), HOPEX Administration (Web).
Private workspace
In some desktops you work in a private workspace. You can perform modifications. Your modifications are available for the other users once you have published your work. The other users must refresh their workspace to see your modifications.
Desktop examples: HOPEX Report Studio, HOPEX Information Architecture, HOPEX Enterprise Architecture, HOPEX DoDAF.
In a private workspace, if you switch to another desktop with the profile switcher, be careful to publish your work if you want to keep your modifications. See Switching Between Profiles.For more details on private workspaces and particularly on your work dispatches, see Managing workspaces

Some desktops are accessible in read-only mode. You cannot perform any modifications.
