More questions about creating a Space
Where do I create a Space if I do not belong to one?
If you are signed in but do not belong to any Space, a single Create new Space button appears in place of the Space switcher, for example on /settings/profile. It opens the same dialog as step 1; continue with step 2.
Set up the Space when you first open it
The Set up your Space dialog asks for a name and time zone.
Note
You have the Owner or Administrator role in the Space, and it has not been set up yet.
-
Enter a name and time zone
Enter a name under Display name, for example
Beispiel GmbH. Choose a time zone from the list under Time zone; type to search the list. -
Save the details
Click Save. The dialog closes.
The name and time zone are filled in; the save button is highlighted.
The Space is set up; you can change the name and time zone later in the general settings.
Good to know

- If nobody has chosen a time zone for the Space yet, the field defaults to your browser's time zone.
