Workspaces

In Seequent Evo, data is organised into workspaces where access is controlled by assigning users and granting them different permission levels. This topic provides a brief introduction to Seequent Evo workspaces and links to topics that provide more information. This topic is divided into:

The Workspaces List

Click on Workspaces in the sidebar to see all the workspaces you have permissions for. There are two views:

  • The list view () displays more information about each workspace, including your permission level.
  • The grid view () displays each workspace using a thumbnail, which may help help you quickly scan for a specific workspace.

In both views, there is an overflow menu () for each workspace that is for making changes to that workspace, if you have the permissions for doing so.

See the Managing Workspaces topic in the Workspaces help for more information on these options.

Whatever view you are using, click on a workspace to open it.

If you are new to Seequent Evo and have not yet been assigned to any workspaces, click Create Workspace to create one of your own and start exploring the options available. See the Creating a Workspace topic.

Viewing Workspace Contents

Data in and information about a workspace is displayed divided into tabs:

The Geoscience Objects and the Files tabs show data objects the workspace contains.

  • The Geoscience Objects tab is for geoscience data with a structure that represents a defined geological, geotechnical or geophysical concept. Geoscience objects are added to workspaces via Evo APIs or via connected applications. See the Geoscience Objects topic.
  • The Files tab is for unstructured geoscience data from any source. These are added to a workspace via the File API. In addition, you can directly upload files to Evo in a workspace’s Files tab. See the Files topic.

Geoscience objects and files are not dynamically linked to their source; they are transactional objects for moving, accessing and storing information. With both types of data, however, objects can have multiple versions.

The Settings tab shows the workspace’s name and basic settings. You need owner or editor permission to be able to view and make changes in this tab. See the Creating a Workspace topic for information on the settings in this tab.

The Permissions tab shows the list of users assigned to the workspace. If you are an owner or editor of the workspace, you will also be able to assign users to the workspace from here. See the Managing Workspace Users topic.

The Recycle Bin tab contains geoscience objects and files that have been deleted from the workspace. See the Geoscience Objects and Files topics.
