Abstract
In a method of workspace modeling, a user selection of a step is received at a workflow region of a workspace modeler, the workflow region including a plurality of steps. At least one step of the plurality of steps is unavailable for user selection prior to satisfaction of a prerequisite condition associated with another step of the plurality of steps. Available steps of the plurality of steps are selectable in any order. Access to objects associated with the step is provided in response to the user selection of the step. The objects are selectable by the user for respective inclusion in a content region of the workspace modeler. A user selection of an object is received at the workflow region, and a visualization of the object is added to the content region. The visualization remains persistent within the content region regardless of a user selection of a different step.
