Workspace Elements

The workspace is where you place the text, images, graphics, and data that make up your document. While it is possible to create a simple document such as a business letter using only the base workspace, the real power in using gobeProductive comes from using the following workspace elements:

 

Frames

A frame is a floating window containing one of the gobeProductive environments. Frames you add to your documents can be of any type. For example, you can add a graphics frame to a word processing docu­ment to include a company logo in a business letter.

 

Layers

A layer is a set of one or more items (frames or graph­ics) which can be worked on independently of the other layers in a document. For example, you might have a document containing a complex organizational chart. One layer might contain the graphic and text frames describing the sales division, another describ­ing human resources, and a third describing engineer­ing. Each layer can be independently edited without affecting the other two; the combination of the three layers completes the document.

 

Sheets

A sheet is essentially a “sub-document”. For example, you can create a single gobeProductive document containing a word processing sheet, a spreadsheet sheet, a presentation sheet, and an image processing sheet. You could contain all your important documents for a particular report, project, or presentation inside one document file, instead of the multiple files required by other office suites.
