Abstract

A workspace display includes a plurality of different groups, each group including a plurality of different components. Each group corresponds to a task, set of tasks or topic of information related to a user's role. The particular components included in each group are user interface display elements that are each related to an item of content within the corresponding group. The workspace display has filter mechanisms that are actuated to filter the content displayed in the components on the workspace display.
