Workspace
The workspace is located below the header, and is where you perform all tasks in Genesys Administrator Extension. Its length adjusts automatically, depending on what is displayed in it. The workspace displays new panels to the right as new options or functions become available, depending on the choices that you make in the active panel.
Layout
The left-most panel contains items that correspond to the selected module which you have selected from the Menu in the header area. The list of items are organized by tenant in multi-tenant environments. You can choose to view all tenants, your default tenant, or selected multiple tenants. You can filter the content of the left-most panel by typing the name or partial name of a tenant in the Quick Filter field. You can sort by tenant or other criteria by clicking the column heads.
When you click an item in the list of items, or when you click New or Add, a new panel opens on the right side. This panel contains controls that you can use to view/edit/modify properties and other information related to the selected (or new) item. Genesys Administrator Extension supports auto-completion of forms and fields, to improve efficiency.
Error and information messages are displayed at the top of the workspace. You must close them manually by clicking the X, or they will accumulate and fill up space in your workspace.
