Workspace Content References
Workspace content references are used to customize the workspace by referring the content you want to display in the workspace panes and Work Area window.
When you add a content reference to a workspace, you refer the object in one of the following ways:
System absolute: This option creates a path that refers to a specific object or property in the system. The full address is enclosed in the path and the path starts from the root level of the system. For example, the path /Server 1/University X/Building A/Graphic1 refers to a graphic named Graphic1 in the folder Building A under the folder University X on Server 1. This option means that the content of the workspace will be the same regardless of which server you are logged on to.
Server absolute: This option creates a path that refers to a specific object or property on a server. The address to the server is enclosed in the path and the path starts from the root level of the server the user is logged on to. For example, the reference ~/Building A/Alarm View1 refers to an Alarm View in the folder Building A on the server the used is logged on to. This option means that the content of the workspace depends on the server you are logged on to.
Relative: This option creates a path that is relative to the target. The path starts from the current location and is relative to that location. Relative paths behave like the server absolute option when it comes to workspace components. For example, ../../Graphics/Graphic1 refers to a graphic named Graphic1 in the Graphics folder one level up. This option means that the content of the workspace depends on the server you are logged on to.
