My Workspace: Overview

What it does

My Workspace is an individual online worksite that functions as a private workspace for each user. When you log in, you will automatically open your My Workspace, which will display the Message of the Day and My Workspace Information boxes. By default, these boxes contain announcements and information from the system administrator.

You can revise the title and frame height of the My Workspace Information box by clicking the Options link in the My Workspace Information box.

Only a system administrator can modify the contents of the Message of the Day box, but you can customize how announcements will display in the window; click Options under Message of the Day.
