Abstract

The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for managing and persisting application interfaces and windows into reusable arrangements. In one example, a method may include identifying a work area of a first user, the work area including a presentation of a plurality of windows, each window associated with an application and receiving a selection of at least one of the plurality of windows in the work area. In response to receiving a request to associate the selected windows with a workplace schema, locations of the selected windows in the work area are determined. The determined locations of the selected windows are stored in a first workplace schema, where the first workplace schema stores the layout of the work area based on the determined locations of the selected windows.
