Applying Lenses to a Workspace

A lens is a reusable preset that loads your workspace with a specific set of filters, column configurations, and groupings for a particular workflow. Each lens appears as a named tab inside the workspace. A workspace can have multiple lens tabs open at once.

Opening the Apply Lens panel

Inside any workspace, select Add Tab in the tab bar. An Apply Lens side sheet slides open on the right. You can also open this panel for an existing tab by clicking on that tab's name.

Naming the tab and selecting a lens

In the Tab Name field, enter a label for this tab. Choose something that reflects the lens or the workflow you intend to use it for.

Below the name field, a list of available lenses appears as selectable options. Select one, then click Apply. The tab reloads with the filters, columns, and groupings defined by that lens. Selecting No Lens creates a blank tab showing the full unfiltered product list.

The lenses available in your workspace are configured by your Technical Account Manager (TAM). Custom lenses tailored to specific workflows, such as forced labor screening, country-of-origin review, or supplier status tracking, can be requested from your TAM at any time.

Working within a lens tab

Once a lens is applied, the tab shows the workspace data filtered and arranged according to that preset. Use Filters, Columns, and Groups to make additional adjustments within the tab. These in-tab changes do not alter the underlying lens definition; they apply only to your current session view.

Switch between tabs by clicking their names in the tab bar. Each tab maintains its own lens, filters, and column layout independently.

Changing or removing a lens

To change the lens on an existing tab, click the tab name to reopen the Apply Lens side sheet. Select a different lens and click Apply. To remove the lens without deleting the tab, select No Lens and click Apply.
