Spaces

Learn about Dart spaces, their main components, and how to use them

Spaces are an important part of the Dart hierarchy. Spaces are very flexible, but are typically used to contain the work of a particular team or project.

To create a new space, go to your lefthand column and hover over the SPACES title. Then click on the "+" icon:

making a space

A space contains two main items:

Dartboards organize various aspects of a project (and their respective tasks) all in one place. Doc folders centralize the docs associated with a project.

To create a new dartboard or doc folder in a space, hover over the tile of your space and click on the "+":

General and Personal spaces

In addition to the spaces you create, you will notice two permanent fixtures in your sidebar: the General and Personal spaces.

general and personal space

These have specific rules to keep your workspace organized and private:

  • The General space is the "town square" of your workspace. It is always available for everyone, and you cannot restrict access or remove team members from it

  • The Personal space is your private area. You cannot add other people to it

  • Unlike custom spaces, permissions for General and Personal spaces cannot be changed

  • Neither General nor Personal spaces can be deleted at this time

Making changes to spaces

If you would like to change anything about your space - including its name, settings, and more, hover over the space title and click on the "Space options" icon (three dots):

editing a space

Then click on "Space settings". This will reveal an entire menu of options to help you customize your space:

spaces settings

There are four menus within space settings:

  • Basic (set your space's title and description)

  • Sprints (enable/disable sprints)

  • Reports (manage your automated reports)

  • Sharing (search and toggle on permissions to share your dartboard with certain team members)

Muting a space

If a space is generating more activity than you want to follow, you can now mute it. In the Basic menu of Space settings, switch off the Notifications toggle ("Receive notifications for general activity in this space"). While a space is muted, you won't receive general activity notifications for it in your Inbox. Toggle it back on at any time to resume notifications. Muting affects only your own notifications and does not change the setting for other members of the space.

From the space options, you can also replicate your space, or delete it entirely.
