Workspaces
Workspaces are Conductor's customizable data reporting tools. Workspaces offer flexible ways to organize and personalize how you and your company view, analyze, and share search intelligence. You can collect views of data from throughout Conductor in one place and add customized content to accompany it. To help you get started, you can use one of the several report builders we have ready-made to tailor to your own specifications.
Once you create Workspaces, you can send them to stakeholders in your organization to communicate your efforts and successes.
Workspaces can include data from any content you track with Conductor.

FAQs
What are some best practices for creating Workspaces?
- Make your titles descriptive. When you've built many Workspaces, it can be difficult to distinguish between them and know what each contains by looking at a list. The more descriptive you are, the easier it will be.
- Use a Report Builder to quickly create relevant Workspaces for specific stakeholders to communicate how your work impacts their area of the business. Use these Workspaces to customize their experience and increase their engagement.
- Establish naming conventions with all stakeholders who create, use, and edit Workspaces. The more consistency you have throughout, the better off you'll be.
- When adding particularly wide widgets to a Workspace, consider removing unnecessary columns showing fewer weeks. This will help viewing the data in the Workspace.
- Consider the types of widgets you are adding to a Workspace and evaluate whether the Workspace would be best displayed as a single column or two column format.
How many widgets can I add to a Workspace?
You can add up to 50 widgets to a Workspace.
Why is my Workspace timing out?
If a Workspace exceeds a certain size, it can experience a time-out when you attempt to export it or when Conductor attempts to deliver it. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine the exact point at which a Workspace is too large to export. However, widgets with the following traits are considered too large:
- Widgets with tables that include over 50 rows of data.
- Widgets that reference data over a large period of time, such as 20 weeks or more.
If your Workspace is times out, we recommend splitting your Workspace into smaller reports. To do this you can copy your original Workspace and remove the relevant widgets from each. Doing so allows you to have two parts of the Workspace with widgets equally distributed among each part.
Why can’t I export my Workspace as a PDF?
You can export Workspaces only if all widgets in the constituent widgets can display data. Widgets with incomplete data can include:
- Custom widgets that reference images that are no longer accessible.
- Widgets that reference keyword groups or page groups that no longer exist.
- Widgets that reference data from an analytics integration. If an integration is no longer active, Conductor cannot retrieve data and thus we are not able to display data.
Why haven’t I received my scheduled report?
Conductor sends scheduled reports in batches throughout the day you've scheduled the report to be sent. If you don't receive the report right away, it's likely your report will be included in a later delivery.
If your report has not been delivered, you can export the Workspace as a PDF. If you cannot export the PDF, please refer to the following FAQ that provides more details: Why can’t I export my Workspace as a PDF?
Can I send a scheduled report to a person that doesn't use Conductor?
Yes. You can enter any email address in the form for setting up scheduled reports.
Why doesn't my custom widget appear in my Workspace PDF Export?
You might observe the following error message in the place of a custom widget in a Workspace PDF: "This widget is unavailable in PDF format because it exceeds the maximum size constraints. Please make it smaller or consider dividing the content across multiple widgets."
This occurs when a custom widget contains content that is too large appear within the constraints of the PDF page.
You can distribute the items in the affected custom widget into separate custom widgets until they appear in your export. The recommended maximum width and height for content is approximately 1,000 pixels.
Why doesn't the content I embedded in a widget appear in my Workspace?
Conductor might not support the type of content you embedded. Refer to the How do I embed different media into a custom widget? FAQ to find out what type of embedded content Conductor supports.
