    Hi dbeavon3, 

     

    You're on the correct screen, that is the place to manage pools. Not the best UI, but it works.

Hi dbeavon3 ,

 

Can you please clarify your question? Are you trying to look for a UI that  lists in a tabular fashion of all the pools and their configuration settings  (Starter plus any that you created) in the Workspace? Unfortunately there isn't a screen like that yet, but perhaps try using PowerShell or the Fabric REST API to extract the details for all of them at once.

    Exactly.  If a "custom pool" is analogous to a cluster, there should be a maintenance screen for them.  I've never worked with a platform where a cluster entity was so hard to find in the UI.

    I like the idea of the powershell/local management.  Hopefuly Microsoft will take that one step further and build a thick Visual Studio management interface for our Fabric workspaces.  The UI that they built in their Power BI portal is really not very good.
