Getting started with workspaces

Introduced 2.18

OpenSearch Dashboards 2.18 introduces an enhanced home page that provides a comprehensive view of all your workspaces.

The new home page includes the following features:

1. A Create workspace button for OpenSearch Dashboard admins to navigate to the create workspace page.
2. Workspace access time information and a link to the workspace overview page.
3. A use case information icon that displays information about the workspace’s purpose.
4. A View all workspaces button that navigates to the workspace management page.
5. Links to the latest OpenSearch documentation through the Learn more from documentation button and to OpenSearch Playground through the Explore live demo environment at playground.opensearch.org button.

The navigation logic ensures a seamless user experience by directing you to the appropriate page based on your workspace access level:

• If a you have a default workspace configured, you are directed to the workspace overview page.
• If a you have only one workspace, you are directed to the overview page of that workspace.
• If a you have multiple workspaces, you are directed to the new home page.
• If a you have no workspaces, you are directed to the new home page.
