Customize the Workspace Screens

Customize a workspace's object screens by adding or removing categories and dragging attributes into them.

2 min read

Screens can be customized at the workspace level. The process is identical to customizing screens at the client-space level, but the inheritance rules aren't the same between the two levels — so it's important to distinguish them.

The source article also referenced companion articles on DataGalaxy's core concepts, client-space screen customization, the object sheet, and workspace-level user administration — not yet part of this migration batch, so those links aren't included here.

How do I customize the workspace's screens?

These settings are only available when you have several workspaces. If you have only one workspace, settings are configured directly from the Administration > Screens menu instead.

To customize a workspace's screens, first make sure you're an administrator of that workspace, and therefore hold a Data Steward license. To check, go to your profile, where your license level is shown.

Customizing screens at the workspace level:

  • Won't affect other workspaces.
  • Won't stay synced with changes made to the screen at the client-space level.
  • Will, however, affect data-import forms.

Removing an attribute from a screen doesn't delete the attribute — it remains available.

Follow these steps to customize screens:

  1. Go to Settings, at the bottom of the side navigation bar.
  1. Click the Screens tab.
  1. Choose the module and object whose screen you want to customize.
  1. Add or remove categories. A few notes:
    • The General and Owner categories can't be renamed.
    • The Synonyms category, present on some Glossary objects, can't be removed or renamed.
    • The Header category can't be removed, renamed, or hidden. It also has some limitations: Text, Rich text, Value list, and Hierarchical list attribute types can't be placed in the header, and the header is limited to 5 attributes for readability.
  1. Drag your chosen fields into the categories. All available fields are listed on the right.
