Workspace window

The workspace window shows one open object store. You browse, search and analyse the objects here. It has the menus and a search button in its title bar, a rail of pages on the left, and a status bar at the bottom.

Opening it

Open an object store; see Opening an object store. Each store gets its own window.
Open a store that is already open, and Prism brings its window to the front.

The window opens maximized unless you turn off Open workspace window maximized on the Settings page.
