Workspace is a landing surface for ShiftUp. It brings the accounts, strategies, approvals, and daily activity that need attention into a single, customizable grid — with role-aware defaults, per-view layouts, global filters, and a guided onboarding tour.

What’s on the workspace

The workspace is a customizable grid of widgets. Which widgets appear, in what order, and which is the row hero is driven by the active view. Admins ship persona defaults; each user can save their own views on top. The core widgets:
  • Active strategies (inbox) — the seller’s inbox: strategies running on your accounts, grouped into a work-state funnel (No activity, Engaging, Converted with opportunity-stage pills). Drill into a state to filter the list; sort by priority, confidence, most recent, account, or strategy name. Rows show inline risk signals in warning tone.
  • Daily feed — recent Account Plan and Strategy updates, defaulted to Priority (account rank → feed priority → recency) or Most recent. Toggle account-intelligence updates on or off from widget settings.
  • Priority accounts — accounts ranked by priority within your visible book. Detailed rows show owner, pipeline, activity, and the top one to two risk signals inline. Priority, Risk, and Value lenses share the same ranking model.
  • Strategy approvals — the shared queue of pending candidates from your pipeline agents. Pick an agent from the widget picker, scroll through candidates sorted server-side, and accept, dismiss, or bulk-activate — with an optional assignee (a specific user or the account owner). The queue follows the selected global filter’s account owner and industry criteria. See Strategy approvals and global filters.
  • ShiftUp coverage — visualize the gaps in your open pipeline to ensure each Opportunity is supported by a ShiftUp strategy.
  • Prospecting queue — the drill-in workspace for prospecting work. Engage with pre-generated messaging tailored to each unique strategy and recommended stakeholder. Scope follows the global filter bar: with no ownership filter active, the widget and its drill-in show every prospecting item you can see; the global Ownership and assignment filters (Belongs to me, account plan owner, strategy assignee) narrow both surfaces the same way. Switch views (Needs action, Due now, First touches, Upcoming, All prospecting) from the widget’s Queue view setting, and sort by Recommended (the default due-priority order), Most recent, Account name, Strategy name, Value, or Confidence — the sort applies in both the widget and its drill-in.
Hero slots enrich list widgets with company logos, header KPIs, and detail lines like amount, close date, and summary.

Views and customization

The workspace supports multiple views — named layouts you can switch between via the header picker.
  • Switch view — open the picker to jump between your saved views.
  • New view from current layout — save the layout you’re on as a new view.
  • Rename, duplicate, delete — from each view’s row menu. You always keep at least one view.
Click Customize to edit the current view:
  • Drag widgets to reorder them within a row.
  • Drop a widget between rows to start a new row.
  • Hero toggle — mark a widget as the row hero to give it more space and richer detail.
  • Remove widgets or rows you don’t need; drag from the Available widgets tray to add more.
  • Reset to default — restore your role’s shipped default layout.
  • Save layout to persist, or Cancel to discard edits.
Admins can also customize persona defaults — the layout every rep, manager, or admin sees before they save their own view — via the customize-target dropdown. Personal views always win over persona defaults.

Role-specific defaults

  • Reps ship with a prospecting-led layout: row 1 is Prospecting queue, Active strategies (hero), Priority accounts; row 2 is ShiftUp coverage (hero), Daily feed. Saved layouts aren’t migrated — existing sellers get the new arrangement by clicking Reset to default.
  • Managers and admins (with pipeline agent access) ship with a pending-led layout: Strategy approvals first, pipeline as the second-row hero.

Global filters

A sticky filter bar sits at the top of the workspace and narrows every list widget on the page at once. Filters are grouped into four categories:
  • Ownership and assignment — Belongs to me, account plan owner, strategy assignee.
  • Favorites — Limit results to accounts and strategies you’ve favorited.
  • Account criteria — Accounts, Industries, Seller profiles.
  • Value and timing — Amount, Activity, Pipeline timing (any close date, closing this quarter, closing next 90 days).
Select one filter chip at a time. Clicking another chip replaces the current selection, including when you hold a modifier key. If the selected chip is hidden, deleted, or unavailable in the current Saved view, Workspace falls back to All. If you previously combined several chips, Workspace selects the first available one in bar order and shows a one-time notice. Your saved filters are unchanged. The filter bar stays visible as you scroll. Widget headers show what’s left after the current filter alongside the unfiltered grand total (“Showing X of N”), and each list widget caps at 200 rows.

Strategy approvals and global filters

The Strategy approvals widget applies the selected filter’s criteria that have a candidate equivalent:
  • Account plan owner (Me, team users, or None) matches the candidate’s captured Salesforce Account owner. This owner can differ from the owner of the Account plan.
  • None selects candidates without a captured Account owner. This includes candidates that don’t match a Salesforce Account and known Accounts whose owner data is missing.
  • Industries uses the candidate’s industry.
When a filter has both owner and industry criteria, candidates must match both. Criteria without a candidate equivalent, such as Favorites, Accounts, Seller profiles, custom Account filters, and Value and timing, don’t narrow approvals. Other widgets keep their existing filter behavior. ShiftUp applies the filter before sorting and paging, so the widget’s total counts every matching candidate. Changing the filter clears selections for rows that are no longer shown. If the filter can’t be resolved, the widget shows Unable to load approvals. Refresh the page or choose another filter. and hides approval rows until you retry.

Account filters

Workspace filters can also narrow results by custom Account fields that your admin exposes under Custom filters (Beta). When at least one shared field is available, the filter editor shows an Account filters section on each Workspace filter.
  • Each row picks one field, an operator (Equals or Not equal), and one typed value that matches the field type (text, number, currency, boolean, or picklist choice).
  • Multiple rows on the same filter are joined with AND — a row must match every criterion in the group.
  • Account filter rows combine with the other criteria on the same filter. Every criterion on the selected filter must match.
  • Sellers see only fields they can read on the Account object. Fields the admin later removes stay on the filter as unavailable and can be edited or deleted from the filter editor.
If a saved Account filter references a field that is now invalid, unavailable, or inaccessible, a recoverable alert appears beside the global filter bar. Retry re-checks field metadata; opening the filter editor lets you fix or remove the criterion without silently broadening results. The same Account filters section appears inside the Display menu on the Account Plans and Strategies tables, where criteria are saved per tab and applied to the list and search before pagination.

Guided tour

A guided onboarding tour walks first-time users through the workspace: left nav, widget grid, global filters, key widgets, and AI chat. It auto-launches once on first view.

Permissions and visibility

  • Workspace and the Prospecting queue widget are on for every org by default. A manager override can still turn either off for a single org.
  • Row visibility honors Salesforce sharing for every persona: sellers see their book, managers see their team, admins see the unfiltered view on Daily Feed, Active strategies, and Strategy approvals.
  • Priority is per-user: the accounts, strategies, and approvals each user sees are ranked within their own visible set.
  • The Strategy approvals widget requires pipeline agent view permission; without it, the widget is hidden and the tour step is skipped.

How ranking works

ShiftUp ranks the accounts in your workspace so each seller sees the ones that need attention first. The ranking runs inside your Salesforce org and uses only your Salesforce data: opportunities, tasks, events, and ShiftUp strategies.

Three lenses

Every ranked list has a lens, and the order changes with it. Open the settings menu (upper right) on the Accounts by priority / risk / value widget to pick a lens:
  • Priority (default) — accounts with the most at stake and the most momentum come first. Accounts with open risk move up so you do not miss them.
  • Value — accounts ordered by open pipeline, with expected (weighted) pipeline as the tiebreak.
  • Risk — only accounts that carry a risk signal, highest risk first. An empty list means nothing needs attention.
Risk applies only to accounts with at least one open opportunity. Closed Won and Closed Lost opportunities do not count as open. An account without an open opportunity keeps its rank position but carries no risk score, no risk factors, and no risk-based Priority boost, so stale activity or overdue follow-ups on it never place it in the Risk lens.

The signals behind a rank

ShiftUp reads four groups of signals for each account:
  • Pipeline — open pipeline value, weighted pipeline, and late-stage opportunities that close soon.
  • Activity — recent completed activity, upcoming activity, and overdue follow-ups.
  • Strategy — active ShiftUp strategies on the account and their confidence.
  • Hygiene — opportunities past their close date, opportunities with no next step, and opportunities that close soon with no activity planned.
Every ranked account explains itself. Click an account in the widget to see the reasons behind its position, for example “$1.2M open pipeline”, “2 late-stage opportunities closing within 90 days”, “No activity in 34 days”, or “3 overdue follow-ups”. Each reason links to the records behind it. The reasons you see are the same reasons that produced the rank; nothing is hidden or approximated. The ranking respects Salesforce sharing. Each user’s list contains only the accounts they can see in Salesforce. Two users who can both see an account see it in the same relative order; neither sees the other’s accounts. If a user can see more accounts than one list can process (more than 200 as of this publication date), the widget shows a Showing a partial set of ranked accounts note.

How fresh the ranking is

ShiftUp builds the ranking the first time a workspace opens, then re-ranks every active account once a day. Between daily runs, changes to opportunities, tasks, and events update the affected accounts within about ten minutes. Your admin can turn intraday updates off with the Enable ranking updates setting; the daily run still keeps the ranking current.
  • Pipeline agents — the source of the Strategy approvals queue.
  • Notifications and feed — the standalone feed page that powers the Daily feed widget.
  • Journey — the onboarding timeline where the workspace tour lives.
  • Customize — personal preferences (tone, length, appearance) that apply across ShiftUp.
