Spaces (rooms and areas)

A space is a room or area inside a project: the kitchen, the hallway, floor 2, the front garden. Spaces let you split one big project into the real places people work in, so a tiler can look at “Bathroom” without wading through the whole job.

What a space is for

A project is the whole job. A space is one part of it. You add as many spaces as you need, and you can name them however your team talks on site.

Once you have spaces, you can:

• Organise products by room. A product (a tap, a tile, a light fitting) can be placed in one or more spaces, each with its own quantity and unit. The same tile can sit in the bathroom and the hallway with different amounts.
• Give each space a colour. The colour is used as a visual code in product lists, so you can spot which room a line belongs to at a glance.
• Scope cards to a space. A card is a single task or item on a board (a task, a question, a snag). A card can belong to the whole project or to one specific space. More on that below.
• Keep a conversation per space. Each space has its own comments section, so a discussion about the kitchen stays with the kitchen.

You can reach your spaces from the project page, where each space appears as a tile you can click straight into.

How to add a space

You manage spaces under Settings > Spaces.

1. Open the project.
2. Go to Settings (the gear button in the project header), then choose Spaces.
3. Find the Spaces section.
4. Add a space and give it a clear name, for example “Master bedroom” or “Floor 2”.
5. Optionally pick a colour for the space.
6. Save. The new space now shows up on the project and is ready to use.

You can also create a space on the fly while adding a product, so you do not have to set everything up in advance.

How to rename, reorder or remove a space

All of this lives in the same Spaces section in project settings.

1. Open Settings on the project.
2. In the Spaces section:
   • To rename, edit the space name.
   • To reorder, drag a space up or down. The order you set is the order people see everywhere.
   • To remove, delete the space.
3. Save your changes.

Tip: Set the order to match how you walk the building (ground floor first, then up). It makes the product list and the space tiles feel natural to read.

How a card is scoped to a space

Cards live on a board (your shared list of tasks, columns like “To do” and “Completed”). Every project has its own board, and each space can have its own board view too.

• A card with no space belongs to the project as a whole. Use this for things that touch the entire job, like “Confirm the schedule with the client”.
• A card with a space belongs to that room or area. Use this for work tied to one place, like “Order extra tiles for the bathroom”.

When you open the board for a single space, you see the cards scoped to that space, so the on-site team can focus on just their part of the work. A card scoped to a space always stays inside the project it was created in; it cannot drift to another project.

For more on how cards and boards work, see the board guides.

Practical tips

• Name spaces the way the team names them. If everyone says “the snug”, call it the snug. Spaces are there to match real life, not to be tidy.
• Use space colours consistently. Pick a colour scheme and stick to it across the project so the visual coding stays meaningful.
• Put project-wide work on a card with no space. Reserve space cards for work that genuinely belongs to one room or area.
• One product, many spaces. Do not duplicate a product per room. Add it once and assign it to each space with the right quantity.
