Activating a Workspace

When a workspace it first created, its state is Create. When a workspace is in the Create state, only the owner can access it. When a workspace is in the Create state, the owner can add members, folders, content, and create discussions but cannot create routes. Standard members cannot access the workspace or any of its content until the workspace is activated. When you, the owner, are ready for members to work with the workspace (you have added some folders and assigned member accesses), you should Activate it. Only the workspace owner can activate a workspace.

Before activating the workspace, you may want to assign accesses to folders and set up task due date notifications. See Defining Access to Folders and Subfolders and setting up task due date notifications in the MatrixOne Common Components User Guide.

To activate a workspace that you own

1. Click My Desk > Team > Workspaces.
2. Make sure All is selected from the drop-down list in the upper right corner.
3. Click the Name of the workspace.
4. Click the Actions menu and select Activate.
5. At the confirmation message, click OK.

The workspace's state changes to Active and members can now access and work with the workspace.
