Work Page

Used to view and manage WorkSpaces and WorkSets, as well as browse and open files. You can also use the Work page to sign in from the CONNECTION Client and assign a project to a WorkSet. When you start MicroStation without designating a DGN file to be opened automatically, the first window that you see is the Work page. The Work page is also displayed when you close a file (File > Close).
