What is a Workspace?

A Workspace is your company's home inside Splinde: one shared space that holds your team, your Projects and Budgets, and the settings everyone in that company works from, like Units and Labels. It exists so one company's people and numbers stay together and separate from every other company using Splinde.

What it's for

A Workspace groups three things under one roof: the people on your team, the work they do (Projects and Budgets), and the shared setup that keeps every budget consistent, such as which Units are available and which Labels exist. Anything created inside a Workspace, from a Budget Template to a Label, is shared by everyone who belongs to it.

Everything else in Splinde nests inside a Workspace. Projects group Budgets, and a Budget is created inside a Workspace and, in the normal flow, filed under a Project too. Workspace-level settings like Units and Labels apply across every Budget in that Workspace, so a Cost Item's unit list or a budget's available Labels come from the Workspace it lives in.

How it works

A Workspace is created once, during onboarding: you set a Workspace Name, an optional logo, and your Company Name, and can invite your first teammates in the same step. People join a Workspace only by invitation, accepted either right after signing in or later from Settings → Your Workspaces. Inside a Workspace, there are two roles: Editor and Admin. Admins manage the team, invitations and workspace-wide settings; Editors work inside the Projects and Budgets they belong to. A Workspace also owns its own Workspace Templates, separate from the Public Templates every Workspace can see, and its own catalog of enabled Units and Labels, set from Settings → Budgets.

You can belong to more than one Workspace if other companies invite you, and switch between them anytime from the workspace switcher at the top of the left sidebar. Whichever Workspace you're in when you sign out is the one you land in next time.

Good to know

An invitation takes a seat from the moment it is sent, so invite the people you work with and check how seats work with freelancers when a freelancer joins for one job.
