We have been redesigning CMDB Workspace in an effort to simplify the experience and have it more persona-based. Since the design is significantly different, we have developed a new workspace we are calling Service Graph Workspace. One of our aims is to eventually provide a single place to manage and work with CI, Service and Foundation data (planned) - hence changing the name from "CMDB Workspace" to "Service Graph Workspace".
In Service Graph Workspace, the home page is now persona-driven:
- General users with the sn_cmdb_user role land on a Search & Explore module where they can browse and search for CMDB data
- Owners or managers of data with the sn_cmdb_editor role land on a Data Owner home page where they can work with their CIs and related info
- CMDB Admins with the sn_cmdb_admin role land on a Governance page, based on the CMDB Workspace Management page, but now incorporating Important Actions, Health and What's New widgets.
Service Graph Workspace is designed to co-exist with CMDB Workspace, allowing you to get to know it and plan transitioning to it, and will be available in CMDB Workspace v9.0 releasing on the store soon.
Note: we are designing a new role-based Quick Links feature for Service Graph Workspace that will be available in a forthcoming release.
In short, you can create a variant of the current CMDB Workspace home page and modify it in UIB, or wait for CMDB Workspace v9.0 and try out Service Graph Workspace.
