When you create your Novell Vibe site, a workspace named Personal Workspaces is automatically created.
Initially, when you expand it, Personal Workspaces includes only two personal workspaces, even after you have created Vibe users, as described in Adding Users to Your Vibe Site
in Basic Installation
in the Kablink Vibe OnPrem 3 Installation Guide.
Users’ workspaces appear in the Workspace tree after the users log in for the first time. You can also see which users have been added to the Vibe site by clicking
.You can manually add Vibe users from this user list, as described in Section 16.2, Listing Vibe Users.
You can also create new Vibe users by using the method described in Creating a User
in Basic Installation
in the Kablink Vibe OnPrem 3 Installation Guide.
As the Vibe administrator, you can access any user’s personal workspace by clicking it in the user list.
Before the user has logged in, the user’s personal workspace includes only very basic information.
After the user has logged in, more information displays in the personal workspace; it is ready for the user to personalize.
For information on how users can customize and populate their personal workspaces, see Setting Up Your Personal Workspace
in the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 User Guide.

The default user profile view is the view that appears in a user’s profile in the personal workspace. When you customize the default user profile view, you modify the information that is displayed in all user profiles.
The default user profile view in Vibe 3 has been expanded to rival other professional knowledgebases such as LinkedIn. Now, users can include more information to share with their colleagues, such as education, qualifications, and competencies.
If you modified the user profile definition in previous Vibe versions, you do not see the new user profile when you upgrade to Vibe 3. In order to see the new user profile, you need to reset your profile user definition. For information about how to reset your profile definitions, see Resetting Your Profile View Definition
in Updating from Novell Teaming 2.1 to Novell Vibe 3
in the Kablink Vibe OnPrem 3 Installation Guide.
You can customize the default user profile view to include custom fields. If you want to customize the user profile view, then you must also customize the user profile form. The view is what users see when they view a user profile; the form is what users fill out when they edit their user profiles. You must design both the form and view of the user profile in order for the elements to be displayed in the user profile view.
The user profile form is what a users see when they edit their user profile in Vibe. For example:
