About Workspaces

Workspaces contain menu options and commands that allow you to perform tasks based on your security permissions.

Workspaces are sometimes called workstations or screens. They can be configured so that many users see the same options when they log into the Client Shell.

In this guide, screen is used when referring to features within Trapeze OPS. For example, the Daily Activity screen or the Bidding screen.
