1. Introduction | |
Introduced in Tiki10, the workspace UI provides site administrators a streamlined way to create simple workspaces, allowing a group of collaborators to work in their own "protected" area. Using the Workspace UI, site admins can:
|
2. Creating and Using Workspaces | |
You can still create workspaces manually Note that the Workspace UI does not give you the full flexibility of Tiki workspaces. If your needs are a bit "out of the ordinary", you may need to set up your workspaces using a more manual approach, or playing with the advanced interface and yaml code (see below).

2.1. Tutorial: Creating a workspace | |
Let's say you are managing a project called OurFabulousProject and want to create a Tiki workspace where all project members can share information. This tutorial will guide you through the process. |
2.1.1. Activate the Workspace UI | |
If the Workspace UI feature is not already activated, follow these steps:
|
2.1.2. Create a Template for the Workspace | |
To create a workspace template:
|
2.1.3. Create a new Workspace using the Template | |
Now that we have a template for creating workspaces for projects, let's use it to create one.
|
2.1.4. Go to the workspace's home page | |
Your new workspace OurFabulousProject is now created. You can access it at: tiki-index_raw.php?page=Project:_:OurFabulousProject.
|
2.1.5. Assign users to the Workspace | |
The final step is to give project members access to the Workspace. All you have to do is to assign those users to the group. For example, if you want user kishiko to have access to the workspace, you:
Repeat for all users who should be members of the workspace. |
2.1.6. Final tip | |
Besides setting permissions to a workspace template, you can also set permissions to the workspace itself. The process is similar to setting permissions for wiki pages. |
2.2. Internals of a workspace | |
Basic building blocks | |
As you may have surmised from the above tutorial, a workspace consists of several lower-level building blocks that are combined to provide a "workspace user experience". The building blocks are:
Features Supported via the Interface:
|
Workspace organization | |
For example, if the template is called Project, and the selected workspace name is Infrastructure::Improvements 2012, the category tree would be the following:
|
2.3. Edit a Workspace Template in advanced mode (yaml) | |
Once a workspace template is created, you can edit it in either the simple interface, or the Advanced Mode. To edit a workspace template in Advanced Mode (yaml), you need to:
Then you have the workspace template in advanced mode. In which you can edit in yaml code:
