Workspaces

In GridScript, a workspace is the central environment where you manage all your projects and pipelines. It acts as a digital folder that organizes everything you create, transform, and visualize.

What is a Workspace?

A workspace defines the scope of your work — including which projects and pipelines you have access to, how your data is stored, and who can collaborate with you. GridScript currently supports two types of workspaces:

  • Anonymous Workspaces – These are temporary workspaces not linked to any account. They allow you to start using GridScript instantly without registration. Anonymous workspaces:
    • Contain a single project and a single pipeline stored locally in your browser.
    • Save your progress locally until you clear browser storage.
    • Are ideal for testing, demos, or quick data exploration.
    • Cannot be synced or accessed from other devices.

  • Private Workspaces – These are persistent, user-linked environments that allow you to manage multiple projects, pipelines, and datasets under your account. Private workspaces are built for collaboration and cloud-based data analysis. They will include:
    • Multi-project and multi-pipeline management.
    • Cloud storage and synchronization.
    • Access control and real-time team collaboration.
    • Integration with APIs and remote data sources.

    Note: Private workspaces are currently in development and planned for release in early 2026.

Workspace Components

A workspace isn’t just a container — it’s a structured environment designed for data-driven workflows. Each workspace includes several key components:

  • Projects – The core units where you combine datasets, tools, and charts to perform analysis and visualization.
  • Pipelines – Custom workflows composed of multiple stages (like importing, transforming, and visualizing data). Pipelines let you automate analysis steps using JavaScript or Python. Learn more about Pipelines.
  • Datasets – The raw or processed data tables stored locally or in the cloud.
  • Tools – Built-in no-code and scripting tools that help you transform, analyze, and visualize data interactively.

Why Workspaces Matter

Workspaces give structure to your data workflow. Instead of working on isolated files, GridScript connects your datasets, transformations, pipelines, and visualizations under one unified environment.

This allows you to:

  • Keep all related data projects and pipelines organized.
  • Switch between datasets or experiments seamlessly.
  • Reuse charts, scripts, and code across multiple analyses.
  • Collaborate effectively in shared or cloud workspaces.

Next Steps

Once you understand how workspaces function, the next step is to explore Pipelines — where you can build automated workflows for transforming and analyzing data — or learn more about Projects, where your data and visualizations come together.
