🦸Setup your first Space

This will help you understand how to utilise the key Dework features

Overview

Spaces are containers for projects, tasks & bounties. They provide a glanceable view for all the work related to a single topic. Everything your team and community need to track and contribute to that topic can be housed in a space and divided into projects below it.

Additionally, you can set your workspace to either be a Space or Project by going to Settings > General

• Space: Acts as a general-purpose container for your tasks & bounties, and is best suited for teams, depts, guilds, pods etc.

• Project: A great fit for work that is aimed at a specific goal and can have a timeline & budget

Board view

Using the efficient Kanban board layout, you can create and move tasks in any of 4 default columns: To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done.

You can use the menu at the top of any column to add sections within the column. Then you can shift a task between custom stages/steps of To Do, In Progress etc.

A standard kanban view greets you in your main space

Filter & Sort

When you click on the settings icon next to the name of the view, you can filter by:

1. Tags

2. Assignees

3. Priority

4. Reviewer

5. Discord Roles

6. Skills

7. Templates

You can also sort by:

1. Custom (drag-n-drop)

2. Priority

3. Due Date

4. Creation Date

5. Bounty

Additionally, you can change the layout (Board, List, Grid), update which fields are visible for the view and choose to save the view customisations for everyone, as well.

Note: Details and examples of using these options are covered later in Task Views

You can customise each view to be the most helpful, including the order of views

Open Tasks view

This tab will list unassigned tasks in To Do status using a vertical list that is easy to scroll and best for quick filtering

This is a handy preset view to aid in task discovery

Integrations

This is where you can connect Dework with other platforms to automatically sync information and keep your community up to date no matter where the work is getting done. By default it will take you to the Discord setup page, but you can easily navigate to the GitHub section via the Settings menu list.

As of now we support the following integrations for spaces:

• Discord: You can connect Dework to your organisation's Discord server which will add our Dework bot and help update the server about new tasks, applications, submissions and task completion. More information on Connecting to Discord

• GitHub: You can connect Dework to your GitHub repo and automatically sync issues and updates, as well as see live status updates from GitHub directly in the task cards. More information on GitHub

• Notion: You can connect a Space to Notion database(s) to enable the creation of bounties right from Notion tasks and track/pay them in Dework. More information on Notion

Help your contributors get the most value out of Dework with handy integrations

You can access the permissions of any space in your organisation via the Access & Permissions button at the top right corner of the space

Note: More information on setting these up can be found on Permissions

Check the top right of your space to update permissions

This will redirect you to the Permissions section of the space settings where you'll be able to set
