# CMDB Data Manager experience in CMDB Workspace

Use the CMDB Data Manager in CMDB Workspace to administer policies, CIs life-cycle and attestation tasks, view analytics about on-going CMDB Data Manager processes, and to approve or reject assigned tasks.

Use [CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/cmdb-workspace.md) landing page and views to administer CMDB Data Manager, to access overall analytic and counts for its policies and tasks, and review your tasks:

-   Use the [Governance view in CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/sg-workspace-governance-view.md) to create and track policies, and to manage exclusion lists and retirement definitions.
-   Use the Important actions tile on the CMDB Workspace landing page to access data attestation and life cycle approval tasks such as reassignment requests and unassigned overdue tasks. Drill down these task cards to see further details about the tasks.
-   Use the My work tile on the CMDB Workspace landing page to access all open tasks, which are assigned to you, or to the group assigned in the **Managed by Group** attribute and which you're a member of. For CMDB administrators, any unassigned tasks are also included for reassignment. Review and process all tasks. Review and process attestation tasks by checking the physical existence of IT infrastructure or applications associated with the CIs in the tasks.

-   Use the [Insights view in CMDB Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/configuration-management-database-cmdb/sg-workspace-insights-view.md) to access attestation and non-attestation tasks that are assigned to you or to an assignment group that you belong to in accordance with CMDB Data Manager policies. Overdue attestation tasks appear in a separated **Overdue tasks** list.
