DataV:Workspace management

Basic workspace operations

Limits

The number of workspaces supported by different versions of DataV-Board 6.0 (including the default workspace) is as follows.

Prerequisites

• You have activated the DataV-Board service.

• (Optional) Create RAM users. If the workspace needs to add members for collaborative development, create the corresponding RAM users first.

Access workspace management

1. Access the DataV console.

2. On the Projects page, click Project Quotas to access the workspace management page.

Create a workspace

1. On the left side of the Manage Workspace page, click Create Workspace.

2. In the Create Workspace dialog box, enter the workspace name and click OK to go to the workspace details page.

3. On the workspace details page, you can configure the basic information and member information of the workspace as needed.

   Configure basic information

   You can view the access token of the current workspace and configure related quotas. The workspace access token is the unique identifier of the workspace, which can be used for copy and transfer operations in the future.

   The quotas involved in the workspace are as follows.

   Parameter	Description	Configuration principle	Maximum quota for the version (the upper limit of the total quota for all workspaces)
   Data Dashboard Quota	The number of data dashboards that can be created in the current workspace.	All types of quotas must follow these principles: The total quota of all workspaces in the currently purchased DataV-Board version does not exceed the maximum quota supported by that version. Note For example, in the Enterprise Edition product you purchased, the total Data Dashboard Quota of all workspaces cannot exceed 20. The quota of the current workspace does not exceed the remaining quota of the purchased version. Note For example, you purchased the Enterprise Edition product, which has a Data Dashboard Quota limit of 20. If the total Data Dashboard Quota configured for existing workspaces in your current product is 15, then the Remaining Data Dashboard Quota for this version is 5. In this case, if you create a new workspace, the Data Dashboard Quota for that workspace cannot exceed 5.	Basic Edition: No more than 5. Enterprise Edition: No more than 20. Professional Edition: No more than 40.
   Favorite Component Quota	The number of components that can be favorited in the current workspace.		Basic Edition: This feature is not supported. Enterprise Edition: No more than 20. Professional Edition: No more than 40.
   3D City Quota	The number of 3D cities that can be created in the current workspace.		Enterprise Edition: This feature is not supported. Professional Edition: No more than 10. Premium Edition: No more than 50.

   (Optional) Add Members And Grant Permissions

   You can add target RAM users as members of a workspace and grant corresponding permissions to enable collaborative development in the workspace using these accounts. Adding members is controlled at the workspace level, and by granting different roles to users, you can implement access control for various features within the workspace.

   Note

   Before adding members, please create RAM users first.

   • Role permission description: After a member joins a workspace, they have the relevant operation permissions for that workspace, and different roles have different permissions. DataV-Board supports the following roles:

     • Owner: Has all permissions for the current workspace. The Alibaba Cloud account that activates DataV-Board is the default Owner.

     • Administrator: Has permissions to add members, manage and delete workspace resources, but does not have permissions to create or delete workspaces.

     • Developer: Has permissions to create and edit data dashboards in the current workspace, but does not have other higher permissions. Mainly used for collaborative development of data dashboards.

     • Operator: Has permissions to view data dashboards and demo plans in the current workspace, but does not have other higher permissions. Mainly used to assist business teams with daily dashboard operations.

     The detailed permissions of different roles for specific functional modules are as follows.

     Functional module	Permission point	Owner	Administrator	Developer	Operator
     Workspace Management	Access the workspace management page
     	Create a workspace
     	Allocate data dashboard quota for the workspace
     	Delete a workspace
     	Create and edit other resources in the workspace (for example, design resources).
     	Delete the following resources in the workspace: Data dashboards Favorited components Data sources Project groups Other resources (for example, design resources)
     Member Management	View member list
     	Add members
     	Remove members	Can remove any member except themselves.	Can remove any member (including themselves) except the owner.	Can only remove themselves.	Can only remove themselves.
     	Modify member roles	Can modify the role of any member except themselves.	Can modify the role of any member except the owner and themselves.
     	Modify member expiration time	Can modify the expiration time of any member except themselves.	Can modify the expiration time of any member (including themselves) except the owner.
     Data Dashboard Management	Create data dashboards
     	Edit data dashboards, including the following: Add charts Edit charts Delete charts Share data dashboards
     	Rename data dashboards
     Project Groups	Rename project groups
     Component Package	Authorize component packages
     	Upload components to component packages

   • Operation guide: You can refer to the steps in the following figure to add members and grant permissions. After members are added, you can modify their roles and expiration times in the member list, or delete unnecessary members.

     Note

     After a member is added, there is no expiration time limit by default. If an expiration time is configured, the member's relevant permissions will become invalid after the expiration, and they will no longer be able to access the current workspace.

     

Manage workspaces

In the workspace list on the left, you can perform the following operations:

• View and modify workspaces: Click a target workspace to view its access token, quotas, and member list. You can modify quotas or member information as needed.

• Rename a workspace: Hover your mouse over the target workspace and click the icon to modify the workspace name.

• Delete a workspace: Hover your mouse over the target workspace and click the icon to delete the workspace.

  Important

  Once a workspace is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Please proceed with caution.

  • Only the workspace Owner has permission to delete workspaces.

  • The default workspace cannot be deleted.

  • If project resources have been created in the workspace (such as data dashboards, 3D cities, data sources, favorited components), it cannot be deleted. Before deleting a workspace, please delete these resources first.

Copy and transfer to a workspace

In the DataV console, you can copy and migrate visualization applications across workspaces.

1. On the Projects page, move your mouse over the visualization application you want to copy and click the icon.

2. In the Copy Project to Workspace dialog box, select the target workspace and click OK.

3. Enter the target workspace to view the copied visualization application.

What to do next

After creating a workspace, you can connect to the required data sources according to your business needs, and build visualization applications using templates. For more development references, see Feature overview and Build visualization applications on a blank canvas.
