Applying Lenses to a Workspace

This article will guide you through the process of adding a Lens to your Workspace. Lenses give us different ways to view our catalog data, helping us find insights, spot exposures, and focus on specific suppliers.

Step 1: To add a lens, click the plus button inside a workspace.

Step 2: Choose a lens

You'll see a list of available lenses. All accounts come preset with three lenses:

  • Suppliers by Status - Allows you to track and manage suppliers according to the status you've assigned them.

  • All Exposures - Identifies products with any type of exposure

  • Forced Labor Exposures - Identifies products with forced labor exposures

Let's start by selecting the All Exposures lens.

Step 3: Explore the lens

A new lens will appear in our workspace summarizing all exposures related to the products in our workspace. The filter charts at the top of the lens provide a summary of the different types of exposures. To delve into a specific chart element, click on it.

The table below automatically filters to show only the products and suppliers related to that element. For example, if we click on UFLPA-Geofence, the table will update to include only the relevant products and suppliers.

If you want to view those suppliers on the Uyghur Forced Labor Entity list, select it and the table below will filter accordingly.

Step 4: Add additional filters

To add more filters to your table, select Filters.

Step 5: Adjust columns

You can also adjust which columns are shown in your lens. Select Column to toggle off a particular column or toggle it back on. You can also drag and drop columns to customize the view to your preference.

Step 7: Add a new lens

Let's try adding a new lens. This time, we'll add the Forced Labor Exposures lens.

This lens summarizes forced labor exposure. Select an entity in the filter charts and the table below will automatically filter. To undo your filter, simply select the arrow button.

If you want to create a custom lens, ask your Technical Account Manager to help you create a lens that displays the information you care about most.
