In the upper right hand side of the interface you find an instant access bar showing the icons described below. These icons present special objects that

• cannot be made accessible to other users, but are
• available to you in each of your folders or workspaces:

 

This icon represents your personal workspace, i.e. your home folder.

 

The public workspace represents the part of BSCW which is accessible without access-control. Click this icon to access your BSCW server under the guise of user anonymous without terminating your current session under your "real" user name.

 

Your clipboard may serve as an intermediate store (see 3.5.1).

 

Your trash helps to prevent unauthorized or unintentional deletion of objects: In BSCW, an object can be irrevocably destroyed only from its owner´s trash (see 3.5.2).

 

Your address book is used mainly to invite new members to your workspaces and to assign specific roles where necessary (see 4.5.2).

 

Your calendar shows your own appointments and the appointments of the groups you belong to (see 5.1).

 

Bookmarks offers access to your collected bookmarks (see 4.12).

 

Tasks contain tasks you are involved in (see 6.3).

 

Your Briefcase is used to synchronise local documents with BSCW objects (see 7.6).
