# Configuring CMDB Workspace

Plan and configure your implementation of CMDB Workspace.

## Configuration overview

1.  [Set up CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/setup-cmdb-workspace.md)

    Request the store app and enable demo data.

2.  Configure any of the following options to show the most relevant data in your organization:
    -   [Modify important actions on the Home view of CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace-edit-imp-action.md)
    -   [Add a quick link to the Home view of CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace-add-quick-link.md)
    -   
    -   [Configure classes for Cloud vs Non-cloud resources in CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace-config-classes-cloud.md)

-   **[Set up CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/setup-cmdb-workspace.md)**  
Set up and access the CMDB Workspace store app.
-   **[Modify important actions on the Home view of CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace-edit-imp-action.md)**  
Modify the appearance order and other properties of the important action cards that appear on the Home view of the CMDB Workspace.
-   **[Add a quick link to the Home view of CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace-add-quick-link.md)**  
For an immediate access to tools or data that you need, add your own quick link to the Home view of CMDB Workspace.
-   **[Configure datacenters for Cloud vs Non-cloud resources in CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/sg-workspace-config-datacenter.md)**  
The Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart in the insights view in CMDB Workspace determines which CIs and service instances \(application services\) are stored on a cloud and which aren't in the organization. In addition to base system classifications, you can add cloud vs. non-cloud classifications that reflect specific datacenter deployments in the organization.
-   **[Configure classes for Cloud vs Non-cloud resources in CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace-config-classes-cloud.md)**  
Include or exclude pairs of **CI Class**/**Type** in the Cloud vs Non-cloud resources chart that appears in CMDB Workspace.
-   **[Request additional attributes for new CIs](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/additional-att-create-ci-workspace.md)**  
Integrate a request for specific CI attributes when manually creating a new CI in your workspace. Then, when creating a new CI in the respective workspace, users can enter values for the requested attributes, as appropriate for the new CI.
-   **[Limit the class list for new CIs created in a workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/limit-class-create-ci-workspace.md)**  
Limit the selection of classes for a new CI being manually created in your workspace, to only those classes that are relevant to that workspace. When then creating a new CI in the respective workspace, users can only select a class that is authorized as an option.
-   **[Create a custom list in the Lists view in CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/sg-workspace-create-custom-list.md)**  
Create your own lists of classes that you can then navigate in the Lists view in CMDB Workspace to explore data.
