Activate personal workspace
Personal workspace basics
In ILIAS there is a personal workspace for each user in which various resources can be stored:
- Parallel to the repository, but only available to the respective user, simple objects such as files and web links can be created. These can also be reused in the repository from the personal workspace.
- Blogs are available as a special object type in the personal workspace.
- Certificates proving successful participation in tests or exercises can be collected centrally.
- Folders can be created to organize the resources. As soon as at least one folder exists, the folder structure is displayed in a left-hand column and offers a navigation option above it.
Activate personal workspace
These possible content objects of the personal workspace can be activated separately, and the workspace can also be deactivated completely.
The contents of users' personal workspaces cannot be viewed or controlled by you as the technical administrator or by other ILIAS users!
The Folder object type cannot yet be deactivated separately and is available as soon as you have generally activated the Personal Workspace for users.
Please also refer to the chapter of the same name on the subject of disk quota.
Set up strict disk quota for personal workspace
Define a disk quota for the "Personal workspace" of persons as follows:
- Open the Administration menu in the main header and select Personal workspace.
- Switch to the My workspace tab.
- Select the option Strict disk quota for personal workspace and save.
The storage space quota can then be set directly in the respective ILIAS account in the Disk quota for repository section.
