Work flow holds big place in the public eye (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

goldfish bowl

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place in the public eye' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'work flow holds big' is the wordplay.
'work' indicates anagramming the letters.
'flow'+'holds'+'big'='flowholdsbig'
'flowholdsbig' with letters rearranged gives 'GOLDFISH BOWL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goldfish bowl that I've seen before include "public sphere!" , "nowhere to hide" , "Situation lacking privacy" , "Situation open to observation" , "Occupants here supposedly forget" .)
