There is a setting to open the Workplace Application minimized. When this setting is set, you will only see the Workplace “pencil” icon in the System Tray near the clock when Workplace logs in. The Workplace Status View will not open until you double click on the system tray icon. To change this, open the Settings, change the “Start Application Minimized” setting (circled in the screenshot below), then click the “OK” button.
This setting can also be pushed out by Workplace Administrators in the “Company User Settings” section of the Administrator. Under the “General” section, there is a section called “Display Options”. By default, this setting is set to unchecked, but if you want the Workplace Status View to open minimized, check the Deployable Setting column’s checkbox. Then check the “Deploy” checkbox, and save the changes.
