The workspace is where all primary collections activities are performed on clients, contacts and loans.
There are five different types of workspaces in Elements: Queue, Search, History, Dialer and Core Search. The only difference between these different types of workspaces is the way accounts are accessed.
- The Queue workspace has only a Next button. An account can be worked then the user can proceed to the next account in the queue.
- The Search workspace has both Next and Previous buttons to allow users move forward and backwards through the set of accounts returned through the Search.
- The History, Dialer and Core Search workspaces do not have any navigation buttons. Once the account is worked, the workspace can be closed.
The box to the left of the DQ indicator indicates the type of workspace that is open. Multiple Search and History workspaces can be open at the same time but only one Queue Workspace can be open at a time.
This topic contains an overview of the workspace.

The workspace contains the four sections described below.
1. Toolbar

2. Client & Contact Information
The Client & Contacts section of the workspace displays the account's clients and contacts, as well as their addresses, emails, phone numbers, ID and miscellaneous information. The Client Number, Branch Number, assigned Groups and Flags are also located in this section, as well as a Notepad that is a free-form text box to record any notes about the account and account holders.
