Creating a space for your team

Article Number:040143

A space plays a role of a place for your team; a space puts interactions and information necessary for your team in one place. You can create a space by team or by project, and then add whoever you want to invite as members.

This article provides you with step by step instructions on how to create a simple space. Let's start creating a space by performing the following steps and you will get to know hot to use your space.

How a completed space will look
As an example, we will create a space called "Space for Sales Department" as shown below.スクリーンショット:完成した「営業部スペース」の画面

(1): Specify "Space for Sales Department" as the name of the space.
(2): A "thread" is a feature similar to a bulletin board and you can create threads by topic in your space. When you create a space, you can select whether you want to use multiple threads or a single thread. In this example, we will create a space with multiple threads enabled because we want to allow the creation of separate threads for various sales department-related topics.
(3): Add members of the sales department as space members.

Now, let's create the "Space for Sales Department".

  1. On the Kintone Portal, click the Create space icon (the plus sign-shaped icon in the Spaces section), then click New space.スクリーンショット:[スペースを作成する]アイコンと[スペースを作成]のリンクが枠線で強調された[ポータル]画面

  3. On the Appearance tab, enter "Space for Sales Department" as the name of the space.スクリーンショット:[基本設定]タブでスペース名の入力欄が枠線で強調されている

  4. Select the Enable multiple threads checkbox.
    Selecting this checkbox allows multiple threads to be created in the space. This lets you create separate threads for discussing various topics in the space (e.g., a thread for business meeting-related discussion, a thread for sharing business proposals).スクリーンショット:[基本設定]タブで[スペースのポータルと複数のスレッドを使用する]にチェックが入っている

  5. Click the Members tab.

  6. To add users as members of the space, either search for specific users or select a department or group by clicking the Select users from departments or groups icon to the right of the user search box, selecting a department or group, and clicking Add.
    In this example, we want to add all of the members of the sales division, so click the Select users from departments or groups icon, select Sales Division, and then select the Select Allcheckbox in the upper right corner. スクリーンショット:[参加メンバー]タブで[組織やグループから選択]アイコンが枠線で強調されている スクリーンショット:[組織]タブで営業部のメンバーをすべて選択している
