Hey guys,
I'm trying to change the shown fields in the workspace.
What I tried:
1. Go to "Form Design", select the table and chose "Workspace". Sadly the view "Workspace" is in the global scope and my application is not.
2. Create a new view and configure the fields in the "Form Design". Done...but how can I make this newly created view the default view? There doesn't seem to be any documentation.
Thanks in advance, hitting a rock here.

This is one of those customization's I wouldn't recommend, hence the reason there isn't any documentation on this. However, if you want to proceed, do so with caution. Workspace should be the default view globally!
1 you need to create a new property on your experience. This is straight from the Time off template under App Engine Studio:
2 set the value to the view you want to use:
3 where you see View, call your new property. @context.app is how you call a page property

This was helpful but what I found is in my case there was already one there called "view" and all I had to do was change it to the OOB workspace view we already had for our legacy workspace and then refresh the cache and things where good.

Hi,
You can use workspace view rules for this. They work just like view rules. Search for "Workspace View Rules" in filter navigator and you can edit if there is any existing view rule or you can create a new record there.

We were able to get a different view to render in our UIB Workspace using the following method:
- Navigate to `All -> Now Experience Framework -> Configuration Settings -> UX View Rules Configurations` and either open an existing record or create a new one if needed.
- Under the `Workspace View Rules` list, select `New`
- Fill out the form as needed (table, view, conditions etc.) I believe the lowest `Execution Order` has the highest priority.
Creating the `Workspace View Rule` this way will also create a `sys_ux_m2m_workspace_view_rule_ux_view_rule_config` record associating the `UX View Rules Configuration` record from step 1 to the `Workspace View Rule`. I believe that is necessary for non-legacy workspaces (Workspaces build using `User Interface Builder` or UIB.
