Spaces

What is a Space?​

Spaces are an organisational element of dab Loom. A user can create and schedule reports in a Space. Spaces can be created by both users and administrators. The user sees only his own Spaces. Admins see all Spaces in the organisation.


Create a Space​

Note

Please note that there can only be up to 5 Spaces in an organisation.

To create a Space, there are two ways:

  1. In the Dashboard: click on +Space
    loom_spaces

  2. In the Spaces tab on the left of the screen: Click on Spaces and then on +Space
    loom_new_space

Enter a name for the Space and choose a different color if you like. Then click Create. If you want to cancel creation, click Cancel.

Deleting a Space​

Important

Deleting a Space will permanently delete all reports and data associated with it. The deletion can't be reversed.

  • Open the Space you want to delete. Click the three dots to the right of the Space name and then click Delete Space:
    loom_delete_space

  • For security reasons you must enter the name of the Space (case sensitive - if the name is misspelled you'll get an error message), then you click on Delete:
    loom_delete_space2

  • To cancel the deletion, click on Cancel:
    loom_delete_space3

If the deletion was successful, you will see a popup at the bottom of the screen.


Change or Rename a Space​

Open the Space you want to change or rename. Click the three dots to the right of the Space name and then click Rename & Change:
loom_edit_space

You can enter a new name for your Space and change the color if you like. Click Edit to confirm your changes. To close the popup without saving, click Cancel.
