Create your workspace

A Northstar workspace is where your organisation's projects, people, and settings live.

Most organisations only need one workspace.

Before you start

You'll need:

• A Northstar account

• Your organisation or team name

• Permission to create a workspace for your organisation

Creating the workspace automatically makes you a Workspace Admin.

Create a workspace

1. Sign in to Northstar.

2. Select Create workspace.

3. Enter a name for your workspace.

4. Choose your workspace URL.

5. Select Create workspace.

For example:

Choose your workspace name

Your workspace name should normally match your organisation, business unit, or team.

Good examples include:

• Acme

• Acme Product

• North America Operations

• Digital Services

Avoid names that are tied to a single temporary project.

Configure your workspace

After creating your workspace, open:

Settings → Workspace

From here you can configure:

• Workspace name

• Logo

• Default timezone

• Date format

• Default project settings

Add your organisation logo

To add a logo:

1. Open Settings.

2. Select Workspace.

3. Select Change logo.

4. Upload a PNG, JPG, or SVG file.

5. Select Save.

For best results, use a square image of at least 256 × 256 pixels.

Next steps

Once your workspace is ready:

1. Invite your team.

2. Create your first project.

3. Connect Slack if your team uses it.
