User basics
Learn about the key concepts and terminology that provide the foundation for the 1010data Insights Platform.
- Versions
  The 1010data Insights Platform is available in both a stable production version of the system (Prime) and a version that provides access to the latest features (Beta).
- Sessions
  A session in the 1010data Insights Platform is an established period of communication between a user and the system. A single user ID can only have one session active at a time.
- Workspace
  The workspace is an individual instance of the 1010data Insights Platform user interface.
  - Save your workspace
    Save your workspace so you can return to it later or share it with others.
  - Open a saved workspace
    Open a workspace you previously saved.
  - Add a new workspace
    Add a new workspace to your existing session.
  - Workspace Settings
    Change the appearance of your workspace and set the default options for objects.
- Virtual memory
  The quantity of data that your session can handle at the same time is determined by the amount of virtual memory assigned to your user ID.
- Rows and columns
  Within the 1010data Insights Platform, you will manipulate rows and columns to view your data and perform new computations to gain further insight into your data.
- Data types and display formats
  Data types govern how data is stored internally, and display formats control how that data is displayed.

Workspace

The workspace is an individual instance of the 1010data Insights Platform user interface.

It is important to understand that the term workspace is used differently in the new web interface version of the Insights Platform than in the legacy interface. In the legacy interface, workspace refers to the amount of virtual memory allocated to your session. In the new web interface, the workspace is the digital work area of the user interface where you interact with your data.

You can have multiple workspaces open within a single session. Each workspace is located in a separate browser tab which allows you to perform multiple, but separate, analyses at the same time. However, because workspaces are contained within a single session, they share your single allocated amount of session memory.

Your workspace is automatically saved each time the Insights Platform interacts with the server. Automatically saved workspaces are called recent workspaces and can be opened from the Recent workspaces window. For more information, see Recent Workspaces. Recent workspaces are temporary and are limited to the last 10 interactions with the server. However, you can save a permanent copy of your workspace and return to it later or share it with others.

When you log out of your session, all open workspaces are closed and the session is ended.
