Advantages / Limitations • Organization of tools – the workspace limits the tools available to the user based upon what is needed for the particular workspace the user is in. • Protection – the workspace prevents someone from doing work they shouldn’t be doing in the first place! Or from someone “messing up” the work of someone else in a different discipline.
Locally on C Drive Where are the Workspaces Located? • On a Server
