Creating new space from Admin Console

Creating several spaces quickly is easier from the Admin Console, although you can create spaces from the user interface as well. After the space is created, you can apply place templates from the user interface.

You can apply place templates to the Activity page for each space later, or create Overview pages for them if you choose. For more information, see Designing activity and custom pages for places.

To create a space from the Admin Console:

1. In the Admin Console, go to Spaces > Management > Summary, and then select the Browse tab.
2. To create a new space, click the name of the space that will contain it, then click New.
3. On the Create New Space, in Space Name, enter the space name to appear in the user interface.
4. In Description of space, enter a description to appear in the user interface, such as a brief description of what the space is for.
5. In Space Display Name, enter the text to be used in space URLs.
6. Under Permissions, choose a default access scheme.

   Each of the options represents a set of permissions that you can also edit later.

7. Under Content, select the content types you want to be available in the space.
8. Click Create.

The space is created with the specified settings. You can change the place settings from the user interface.
