Working with Workspaces in Votito
This page explains how to use Workspaces to organize your research and user access permissions.
What is a Workspace?
In Votito, a workspace is an isolated container for your research and your team. Each workspace holds its own surveys, idea banks, members, and activity history. Everyone in a workspace shares the same surveys and idea banks, so a workspace is the natural home for a single team’s work.
A workspace is also a data boundary: data in one workspace is never visible from another. This makes workspaces a simple way to keep different teams, clients, or product lines separate.
You don’t need to set anything up to get started — your first workspace is created automatically when you sign up.
Naming Your Workspace
Your workspace name appears in the dashboard header and in the workspace switcher, so pick something that reflects who or what the workspace is for. Names can be up to 60 characters.
- Small company: use your company name.
- Consultants and agencies: give each client its own workspace, named after the client, so one client can never access another client’s data.
- Larger companies with multiple products: name workspaces after the product line, product, or portfolio they cover — for example, one workspace per product management team.
When to Use More Than One Workspace
Most teams start with a single workspace and never need another. You only need a second workspace when you want to keep data and access fully separate — for example, one workspace per client, or one per product team.
See Why use multiple workspaces? to decide whether splitting your work across workspaces makes sense for you.
Managing a Workspace
Workspace admins can rename the workspace, invite workspace members, assign roles, and remove members. Anyone with more than one workspace can switch between them.
For step-by-step instructions, see Managing workspaces.
