Workspaces 1 4 – Organize Your Workbench

-->

Workspaces are places to collaborate with colleagues to create collections of dashboards, reports, datasets, and paginated reports. The new workspace experience helps you better manage access to content. This article describes the new workspaces, and how they differ from the classic workspaces. As with classic workspaces, you still use them to create and distribute apps.

You can organize the layout of the workspace largely according to your wishes, depending on the rental period (from 1 month). Our goal is to offer especially (starting) professionals and creatives a place of their own, who see an added value in the rent of the space in combination with the use of the facilities of the Public Workplace.

You know, all those little goodies that you can pop into an impact driver or socket setup. They're handy, but easy to lose and hard to organize. I've left most of mine in the rubbery cases they came in, but I really like this idea better.

New, upgraded workspaces can coexist side by side with existing classic workspaces. The new workspace experience is the default workspace type. You can still create and use classic workspaces based on Microsoft 365 groups, if you need to. Ready to migrate your classic workspace? See Upgrade classic workspaces to the new workspaces in Power BI for details.

New and classic workspace differences

With the new workspaces, we've redesigned some features. Here are the main differences.

  • Creating the new workspaces doesn't create Microsoft 365 groups like classic workspaces do. All the new workspace administration is in Power BI, not in Office 365. You can still manage user access to content through Microsoft 365 groups, if you want. You just add a Microsoft 365 group in the workspace access list.
  • Use more granular workspace roles for more flexible permissions management in the new workspaces. In classic workspaces, you can add only individuals to the members and admin lists.
  • Assign user groups to workspace roles: In the new workspaces, you can add multiple Active Directory security groups, distribution lists, or Microsoft 365 groups to these roles, for easier user management.
  • Contact list: In the new workspaces, you can specify who receives notification about workspace activity.
  • Create template apps: You can create template apps only in the new workspaces. Template apps are apps that you can distribute to customers outside of your organization. Those customers can then connect to their own data with your template app. Read more about template apps.
  • Share datasets: To share a dataset outside a specific workspace, you need to save the report that contains the dataset to one of the new workspaces. You can't share datasets from classic workspaces. Read more about shared datasets.
  • Organizational content packs: Apps and template apps replace organizational content packs in the new workspaces. Organizational content packs are being deprecated. Now is a good time to upgrade your content packs to apps. See Upgrade classic workspaces to the new workspaces in Power BI for details.

This article explains these features in more detail.

Note

Power BI continues to list all Microsoft 365 groups that you're a member of. This avoids changing existing workflows.

Features that work differently

In the new workspaces, some features work differently. These differences are intentional, based on feedback we've received from customers. They enable a more flexible approach to collaboration in workspaces.

  • Licensing enforcement: Publishing reports to a new workspace experience enforces existing licensing rules. Users collaborating in new workspaces or sharing content to others in the Power BI service need a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license. Users without a Pro or PPU license see the error 'Only users with Power BI Pro licenses can publish to this workspace.'
  • 'Members can reshare' setting: The Contributor role in the new workspaces replaces the 'Members can reshare' setting in the classic workspaces.
  • Read-only workspaces: The Viewer role in the new workspaces replaces granting users read-only access to a classic workspace. The Viewer role allows similar read-only access to the content in the new workspaces.
  • Users without a Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license can access a new workspace if the workspace is in a Power BI Premium capacity, but only if they have the Viewer role.
  • Allow users to export data: Even users with the Viewer role in the new workspace can export data if they have Build permission on the datasets in that workspace. Read more about Build permission for datasets.
  • No Leave workspace button in the new workspaces.

Workspace contact list

The new Contact list feature allows you to specify which users receive notification about issues occurring in the new workspaces. By default, any user or group specified as a workspace admin in the new workspace is notified. You can add to that list. Users or groups in the contact list are also listed in the user interface (UI) of the new workspaces, so workspace end-users know whom to contact.

Read about how to create the workspace contact list.

Workspace OneDrive

As we've stated, Power BI doesn't create a Microsoft 365 group behind the scenes when you create one of the new workspaces. Still, you might find it useful to have a OneDrive associated with the new workspace. With the Workspace OneDrive feature in the new workspaces, you can configure a Microsoft 365 group whose SharePoint Document Library file storage is available to workspace users. You create the group outside of Power BI.

Power BI doesn't synchronize between Microsoft 365 group membership and permissions for users or groups with access to the new workspace. You can synchronize them: Manage workspace access through the same Microsoft 365 group whose file storage you configure in this setting.

Read about how to set the workspace OneDrive.

Roles in the new workspaces

Roles let you manage who can do what in the new workspaces, so teams can collaborate. To grant access to a new workspace, assign those user groups or individuals to one of the workspace roles: Admin, Member, Contributor, or Viewer. See Roles in the new workspaces for details about the different roles.

Administering and auditing new workspaces

Administration for new workspace experience workspaces is in the Power BI admin portal. Findings 2 0 4. Power BI admins decide who in an organization can create workspaces and distribute apps. Read about managing users' ability to create workspaces in the 'Admin portal' article.

Admins can also see the state of all the workspaces in their organization. They can manage, recover, and even delete workspaces. Read about managing the workspaces themselves in the 'Admin portal' article.

Auditing

Power BI audits the following activities for new workspace experience workspaces.

Limitations and considerations

Workspaces 1 4 – Organize Your Workbench

Limitations to be aware of:

  • Workspaces can contain a maximum of 1,000 datasets, or 1,000 reports per dataset.
  • Power BI publisher for Excel isn't supported.
  • Certain special characters aren't supported in workspace names when using an XMLA endpoint. As a workaround, use URL encoding of special characters, for example, for a forward slash /, use %2F.

Frequently asked questions

Are links to existing content affected by the new workspace experience?

No. Links to existing items in classic workspaces aren't affected by the new workspace experience. The general availability (GA) of the new workspace experience changes the default workspace you create, but doesn't change existing workspaces.

Are existing workspaces upgraded to the new workspace experience with GA?

No. The new workspace experience GA only changes the default workspace type to the new workspace experience. Existing classic workspaces that are based on Microsoft 365 groups remain unchanged.

Are workspaces still automatically created for Microsoft 365 groups?

Yes. Since we support both types of workspaces side by side, we continue to list all Microsoft 365 groups you have access to in the workspaces list.

Get the Most Organized Garage Workbench in the Neighborhood

What the heck happened to your hammer?

Or those four crescent wrenches that seem to have disappeared from the rest of the set?

If you're a diehard DIYer, your garage workbench is probably overflowing with tools, and finding anything is a quest worthy of a movie deal. But wouldn't you rather just be able to grab the tool you need when you need it?

We've got your back. From tips on pegboard organization to tool storage ideas, we'll show you how to organize your workshop and keep it that way.

Let's get started.

Put Your Pegboard to Good Use

Pro-Tip: If you don't have a pegboard, buy one with ¼ inch-diameter holes—called 'large hole pegboards.' You'll be able to use sturdier hooks that will stand up to your heaviest tools.

Tools to Hang on Your Pegboard

  • Wrenches
  • Screw drivers
  • Hand saws
  • Hammers
  • Anything you use very frequently
  • Extension cords
  • Prybars
  • Pliers
  • Large levels and rulers
  • Tools that don't fit in a toolbox or other organizer

5 Best Workbench Pegboard Ideas

So, now that you know what tools go on your board, it's time to get them all in order. These pegboard organization ideas make it simple to keep your workbench ship-shape.

  1. Put the tools you use most often at eye-level where they're easiest to grab.
  2. Place your next most-used tools toward the bottom of the board and the tools you use least toward the top.
  3. Group similar tools in the same section of the board and arrange them by size. It'll be instantly clear which tools go where when you're done working.
  4. Hang duplicates on the same peg to save room.
  5. Leave enough space between pegs to remove the tool you need without knocking others down.

Don't Be Afraid to Get Creative With Your Pegboard Organization:

  • Install pegboard shelves to hold jars or tools that are difficult to hang.
  • Use binder clips to hang a pocket organizer or tool pouch for things like brushes, zip ties and other miscellaneous objects.
  • Attach tape and wire spools to carabiners and slip the clips over a dowel rod. You won't have to slide everything off the rod to get what you need.
  • Slide a length of PVC pipe over a peg and use the open space to organize and store extension cords, rope, bungie cords etc.

Pro-Tip: To test different layouts, make a square the same size as your pegboard with masking tape. Rearrange your tools inside it until you find the system that works best.

Step 2. Level Up Your Workbench Tool Storage

10 Steps to Organize the Tools on Your Workbench

  1. Decide how much work space you really need. Do you need plenty of room for cutting and tinkering? Or is your workbench mainly for storage?
  2. Add a few inches to your work area as a buffer and tape off the area. Don't forget to leave room for permanent features like a grinder or vice.
  3. Use tin cans or glass jars to hold nails, bolts, nuts and other small objects. Simple and thrifty, it's a classic for a reason!
  4. Line up the jars or cans you use most often along the back of your bench across from your work area. Use a spice rack or other stackable organizer if you're short on room.
  5. Use another stackable organizer to corral jars of less frequently used stuff at the end of your bench.
  6. Store power tools and their accessories in workbench drawers. If you don't have built-in drawers, use plastic or metal ones.
  7. Use any remaining drawers to store hand tools that wouldn't fit on your pegboard.
  8. Glue short pieces of PVC pipe to your workbench in an easily accessible area to organize pencils, markers, rulers, levels and similar objects.
  9. Attach tool aprons or pocket organizers to the front or sides of your bench if you still need more storage. Just make sure they won't get in the way of opening any drawers.
  10. Store materials like motor oil, lighter fluid and WD-40 underneath your workbench. If there's room, put them in milk crates you can easily slide out to grab what you need.

Pro-Tip: Keep a stepstool next to your workbench so you can quickly get to any tools stored out of your reach.
