Spaces (from workspaces) function similarly to folders on a PC as they help you organize and manage data in a collaborative way.

  • Manage permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel can access data in specific spaces.
  • Keep important documentation and knowledge centralized.
  • Effectively handle data like documents, projects, dashboards, reports, and tables.
  • Create as many spaces as needed to accommodate your organization’s growth.
Tip

Use spaces as organizational units for data based on various categories.
