About This Feature

Overview

Customize Workbench is an admin feature in WPS collaboration management that lets administrators create and manage multiple workbenches for different members or departments. In one place, admins can open the feature page, create a workbench, manage sorting options, adjust general settings, and continue with configuration, publishing, and enabling.

Core capabilities include:

  • Open the Customize Workbench page to review the full four-step flow.
  • Create a workbench with a name, visibility scope, and enabled views.
  • Manage sorting permissions so employees can reorder or hide workbenches.
  • Set the display mode for multiple workbenches.
  • Continue with configuration, publishing, and enabling after creation so the workbench can appear in clients.

This feature is useful for department-based entry distribution, different layouts for desktop and mobile, and enterprise scenarios where different user groups need different workbench content.

Overall Conclusion: If your goal is to create multiple workbenches for different member groups and manage visibility and client views from an enterprise admin console, WPS is closer to that workflow. The other products provide real customization options, but they focus more on dashboards, sidebars, or toolbars than on multi-workbench publishing.
