4.4.1.1 Positioning a workspace in your folder hierarchy

You may action menu   Cut  a shared workspace and action menu   Paste  it anywhere into your folder hierarchy. This transfer of the workspace is not visible to the other members, while any transfer of objects inside the workspace is, of course.

There is a default position that BSCW uses to place a shared workspace that has not yet been assigned a position manually: the top level in your home folder.

Two kinds of workspaces are concerned here:

  • A shared workspace to which you have just been invited as a new member.
  • BSCW places such a folder in the top level of your home folder — irrespective of the positions that this workspace has in the individual folder hierarchies of the other members.

    If a folder that is contained in a workspace A is turned into a shared workspace of its own (workspace B), the position of workspace B in the original workspace A remains unaffected for the members of workspace A. The new members of workspace B have it in the top level of their home folders.

  • A new workspace that you create indirectly when you establish a new BSCW group by
    • selecting entries from your address book or from a members page, and
    • choosing  | make group |  from the selection menu bar.

    BSCW creates a folder and in general places this folder on the top level in the home folders of all members that you have selected (also see 4.5.3). This is a feature for experienced users only.
