Concept overview

Concept deep dive

Workspaces and views

Workspaces are the screens teams use to run the operation. They are configured views over collection records, built around the job the operator needs to complete: fill shifts, review exceptions, approve time, manage documents, check attendance, or collaborate with clients.

Practical rule

Design workspaces around decisions, not database tables. The best workspace helps a person scan, prioritize, act, and verify the result.

Use this page when you need to decide:

what to configure, where the data lives, who should see it, and what the next operational action should be.

Operational visualization

Workspaces organize daily queues around decisions.

Queue

Open

Needs coverage

Queue

Requested

Awaiting approval

State

Filled

Assigned worker

Risk

Late

Exception

Action

No-show

Escalation

Operating view

What does this team need to scan, prioritize, and close today?

Put exception queues before all-record views so teams see risk first.

Definition

The parts operators need to understand

This is the vocabulary to use when explaining the concept to a scheduler, payroll lead, client manager, or implementation owner.

1

List workspace

A table-like view with filters, columns, sorting, tabs, and actions.

2

Calendar workspace

A schedule view for shifts grouped by day, week, location, user, or role.

3

Canvas workspace

A flexible content page for instructions, training, guides, or self-serve information.

4

Tabs

Saved filters for recurring queues such as Open, Requested, Filled, Late, No-show, or Overtime Risk.

5

Record detail

The view that opens when an operator needs to inspect or update one record.

1

List workspaces

List workspaces are strongest when the team needs to scan records and act on exceptions. A documents page can have Expiring This Week, Expiring Next Month, and All Documents. A shifts page can have Open, Requested, Filled, Late, and No-show.

Put exception tabs before all-record tabs.
Show only the fields needed to make the decision.
Use saved filters for repeated queues.
Use row actions where operators need speed.
2

Calendar workspaces

Calendar workspaces make scheduled work easier to understand by time, location, role, or person. They are useful for shift planning, availability review, route-based scheduling, and visual coverage checks.

Choose the grouping that matches the operating question.
Use color for status, role, or coverage state.
Keep shift detail one click away.
Combine calendar views with exception tabs for follow-up.
3

Canvas workspaces

Canvas workspaces are useful when the workflow needs explanation rather than a table. They can hold facility instructions, training, policy guidance, process guides, or mobile-friendly self-serve information.

Use canvas for guidance, not high-volume review.
Scope canvas visibility by access group.
Keep content connected to real operating workflows.
Review it periodically so instructions stay current.

Example: Open shifts workspace

How this shows up in a real Teambridge workflow

Use this as the implementation checklist: each step should produce a visible record, permission, view, or automation.

1

Start from the Shifts collection.

2

Create a tab where assignee is empty.

3

Add columns for role, location, start time, credential need, and request status.

4

Add related worker recommendations or outreach actions.

5

Use the detail view to assign the accepted worker and close the loop.
