Private Workspace Life: Example
To illustrate how private workspaces work, the following is an example of some steps in the work of several users:
Private workspace 1
• Peter opens a private workspace, his repository view is state "n" (R1).
• He creates the "Order" message, which he links to the "Customer" org-unit.
• In parallel, Paul dispatches his private workspace...
Private workspace 2
• The private workspace that Paul dispatched created the "Delivery" message, linked to the "Customer" org-unit.
• Paul's dispatch changes the repository to state "n+1" (R2).
• This new message is not seen from Peter's private workspace...
Private workspace 3
• Mary opens a new private workspace, her repository view is state "n+1" (R2).
• Mary creates the message "Invoice" connected to the "Customer" org-unit...
Private workspace 4
• Mary dispatches her private workspace.
• The repository moves to state "n+2" (R3).
• Peter's view is still in state "n" (R1).
• Peter refreshes his private workspace...
Private workspace 5
• Peter has refreshed his private workspace.
• His view now corresponds to state "n+2" (R3).
• He can now see the "Customer" org-unit with the additions made by Paul and Mary.
• Peter dispatches his private workspace...
Private workspace 6
• When Peter, Paul, and Mary have dispatched their work, all the modifications they have made are visible in state "n+3" (R4) of the repository.
