Workspaces is a Seek feature.

It's available to all Seek license holders.

Saved Workspaces eliminates the need to manually reconfigure your data, regions, and other settings whenever you switch contexts or projects. It significantly reduces the time and effort required to manage multiple projects in Seek.

What's a Workspace?

In Seek, a Workspace consists of your entire project setup, including:

  • The region(s) you’ve selected

  • The data you’ve chosen and the settings applied to it (e.g., normalization, custom labels)

  • The way each view is configured (e.g., Table, Map, Trends, etc.)

Your Default Workspace stores this information based on your last session, allowing you to return to Seek anytime and pick up where you left off. However, for specific setups or projects, you can save multiple workspaces.


How to Save a Workspace

You can save a Workspace to return to its specific configurations at any time. For example, if you’re working on two projects, you can switch between them without losing any progress.

There are three ways to create a Workspace:

  1. From the Workspaces page

    Click the "New Workspace" button.

  2. From an existing Saved Workspace

    Click "Duplicate" in the workspace’s menu.

  3. From the Control Panel

    While exploring data, click "Save workspace as" in the Control Panel.

Manage Your Workspaces

You can find and manage your Saved Workspaces on the Seek Workspaces page. Access this page by clicking the "Your Workspaces" link at the top of the control panel.

On this page, you can:

  • View all your saved workspaces

  • Open, rename, duplicate, or delete any workspace

Note: Deleted workspaces cannot be recovered.

Personal Workspaces: Workspaces are personal to each user. Other license holders on your account cannot access your saved workspaces. (This differs from Folders, Reports, and Dashboards in Chart, which are shared across users on the same account.)

Set Your Workspace Page As Your Seek Start Page

If you frequently manage multiple projects, you might want to set your Workspaces page as your Seek start page. This lets you see all your workspaces at a glance and choose the one you need.

To set the Workspaces page as your start page:

  1. Go to the Workspaces page

  2. Scroll to the bottom and select "Your saved workspaces" under "Set your preferred start page"
