About Smart Workspace

Smart Workspace is a component for WorkSite clients that allows users to view a custom web page when a workspace has been directly selected in the tree pane. By default, the data displayed to users is generated by Advanced Analytics, but it also possible to configure other data sources, including SharePoint, Umbria, and Thompson Elite Web View. For instructions on installing Smart Workspace, see Installing the Milan Client and Standalone Applications.

Note: Smart Workspace requires DeskSite/FileSite 9.0 Update 5 or later.

WorkSite Client Configuration

In order for Smart Workspace to function properly, the WorkSite base path must be set to point to the Milan server.

To set the WorkSite base path:

  1. Open DeskSite or FileSite.
  2. In the Tools menu, select Options.
  3. In the Configure dialog, select the Defaults tab.
  4. Under WorkSite Base Path, enter the URL for the Milan server (e.g., http://milanserver/milan).
  5. Click OK to save the change.
