What is a workspace

If you wish to follow along, you will need access to GoodData. If you are not yet a GoodData customer, you can sign up for our free trial.

Workspaces are the backbone of your analytics. A workspace is where you load your data, create metrics, share data visualizations and dashboards, and much more.

Workspace architecture allows you to provide dedicated workspaces to your different teams, departments, customers, and partners. Workspaces are structured hierarchically, allowing changes to propagate from parent to child workspaces.
