Using Default Workflows in Workspaces

Riverbed Workspaces includes preconfigured workflows for common NPM+ and performance investigations. Which workflows appear depends on your environment, entitlements, and pinned or default settings. For how to open and switch workflows, see Selecting and Switching Workflows. To customize a preconfigured workspace and save your own copy, see Customizing Preconfigured Workspaces.

The following NPM+ starter workflows are typical defaults. Your library may also list additional preconfigured workspaces (for example Performance by Location, Tunnel Usage by Application, or Home).
