IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce
The IBM Management Center for WebSphere Commerce, or Management Center, is a suite of tools to support store management, merchandising, and marketing tasks for business users (Sellers, Marketing Managers, Product Managers, Catalog Managers, and others).
Workspace Management tool
As a workspace manager, you can use the Workspace Management tool in Management Center to manage and edit workspaces, its task groups, and tasks. It provides a single view across all workspaces and all tasks in the workspaces where managers can see how work is progressing.
Working with roles in workspaces, task groups, and tasks
The workspace manager, task group approver, and content contributors can only perform tasks associated with their role.
Working with tasks
Your workspace role defines the authorities you have in relation to tasks. For example, you must be assigned the Workspace Manager role to create a task.
Changing tasks
You can update a task once one has been created. For example, you can update the task to include new contributors.
