What is a Workspace?

A workspace consists of a title bar showing the workspace name and a content area. The
workspace name is composed of the Neoview platform name, the data source name, and the
user name that you used to log in. The information show in the content area depends on the
pane or tool selected.

Content Area of the Neoview Performance Analyzer Workspace

The Neoview Performance Analyzer Workspace provides the content area or work area for any
graphs or tools you want to use. The content area is composed of four panes: Neoview, Live
View, Triage Space, and Query Workbench:

Use the Neoview pane to customize the system metrics and workload metrics you want to
display. To add a tool, simply drag and drop the tool to the workspace.
