3. Platform structure & workspaces

Everyone 4 min read

1 WHAT IT IS

Bizzmine organises its interface into workspaces, dashboards, and widgets — a three-level structure that groups related information and tools by topic or business area. This article explains what each level is, how they connect, and how to orientate yourself when you first open Bizzmine.

2 WHO IT'S FOR

Audience: Everyone    Reading time: 4 min

Anyone who wants to understand how their Bizzmine environment is structured and navigate it more confidently — end users finding their way around, and admins who need to understand the structure before configuring it.

4 HOW IT WORKS

Bizzmine uses workspaces to organise information by topic or business area. Each workspace provides a local environment where related dashboards, collection actions, and external links are brought together.

Quick orientation: When the top bar is blue, you are working in the user interface. When the top bar is orange, you are in the settings area of Bizzmine.

Workspaces

A workspace groups information and tools that belong together. Your organisation may use different workspaces for different departments, processes, or types of information. Some common examples are shown below.

WorkspaceTypical purpose
Document Control Manage documents.
Quality Support the activities of the Quality Department.
Safety Log and analyse incidents.
Table and Data management Quickly add data to collection databases.
Training Management Register trainings and manage related information.

Workspace menu

Inside a workspace, the workspace menu provides links to the main items available in that workspace. These links can lead to dashboards, new collection items, or external links.

Menu item typeWhat it does
Dashboard Opens a dashboard where information is presented visually.
New collection item Opens a collection form so you can register a new item.
External link Opens a link to information outside the workspace.

Dashboards

A dashboard is the main content area displayed beside the workspace menu. It is where Bizzmine presents data in different forms, using one or more widgets arranged on screen.

Widgets

Widgets are the building blocks of a dashboard. Each widget determines how a particular piece of information is displayed — for example, a list of registrations, statistics, collection information, an RSS feed, or HTML text.

New collection items

A new collection item is the general term for creating a new entry in a collection. When you select this option from the workspace menu, Bizzmine opens the relevant collection form where you can enter the required information.

How the elements fit together

  1. Select a workspace that matches the topic or activity you want to work with.
  2. Use the workspace menu to open a dashboard, start a new collection item, or follow an external link.
  3. Review information on the dashboard.
  4. Use the available widgets to read registrations, statistics, and other information in the format provided.
  5. When you need to register something, open a new collection item and complete the relevant collection form.

For workspace owners and administrators

Workspace owners and administrators can configure workspaces, workspace items, and dashboards to suit their environment. The exact setup can therefore differ between Bizzmine environments.
