      How to create a space

      Enhance your navigation experience by creating and adding unique spaces to your main menu

      Creating a space

      Spaces are quick links that appear in the main menu (left side of the app). They allow you to quickly navigate to a list of Cards, People, Templates, Stories, Organisations, or Groups etc. 

      Creating a Space

      To create a new space on your organisation/group:

      1. On the left hand side menu, select Settings. 

      2. If spaces aren’t already enabled, click the ‘Enable Spaces’ toggle so it is set to the on position (shows blue).

      3. Click the Add Space button. A new space will appear in the list.

      4. Click to the right of white circle to give the new space a name.

      5. Click the white circle icon to the left of the space name and pick an icon and a colour. Click off the icon pop up to return to the space menu.

      You have now created the space and it will appear in your main menu under the "Your spaces" header. The next step is to configure the space.

      Configuring a Space

      Click on Configure in the top right. The ‘Configure space’ menu will open.

      1. Select the white placeholder circle to bring up the Icon library.
      2. Search for and select an Icon.
      3. Select a colour.

      Who's here
