Project Integration
This article explains how My Workspace integrates with the Projects module and other OvalEdge modules, including Data Catalog, Business Glossary, Data Stories, and Search Results. It describes how users can add supported data objects to My Workspace, the validation checks performed during the process, and the behavior of workspace actions across different modules.
The article also explains the rules for supported object types, access validation, duplicate detection, workspace limits, and project management to ensure consistent behavior and data governance.
Data Catalog - Workspace Projects Integration
This section explains the functional details of the Workspace integration within AskEdgi and its behavior across modules, including Projects, Data Catalog, Business Glossary, Data Stories, and Search Results.
Operational Framework
The AskEdgi Workspace operates as a personal project within the Projects module and receives data objects from multiple areas, including the Data Catalog, Business Glossary, Data Stories, and Search Results. Tables and files can be added to the workspace from the AskEdgi interface. Still, direct workspace management actions from other modules are governed by clear rules to ensure consistent behavior and data governance.
“My Workspace” functions as a default personal project with defined validations, icon behavior, access checks, duplicate checks, workspace limits, and visual indicators. Only supported object types, including tables and files, can be added to the workspace. Other object types, such as glossary terms and data stories, remain restricted to standard projects.
