A workspace brings together the parts of a business system: apps, automations, data, files, and the people who use them. Each workspace has one Zite Database that its apps can share. Workspace editors see Fillout forms they can open in the Forms section on Overview, when the organization has Fillout turned on. The forms themselves stay under Fillout. For example, keep a team dashboard and client portal together when they use the same customer data. A request form can save those requests to the same database from Fillout. Your organization can have other workspaces for separate systems, such as hiring or inventory.
One organization contains Client operations and Hiring workspaces. Each contains internal and public apps, a form, one shared database, and its own workspace editors.

Two example business systems. Each workspace has its own database and editor access.

Use this workspace or create another?

A different audience doesn’t require a different workspace. Your team’s internal dashboard and a public client portal can share data, with different app access and data permissions. Your plan sets how many workspaces you can create. See Plans & limits. Moving a workspace to Trash does not unpublish its apps. Restoring it brings those apps back. Permanently deleting a live workspace takes its apps offline and cannot be undone.

Find your way around

Open a workspace in Zite. Overview shows its apps, automations, and shortcuts to the database, users, and integrations. Workspace editors also see a Forms section below Automations when the organization has Fillout turned on. Use the sidebar to move between areas without leaving the workspace. To return to your organization, open the workspace name at the top of the sidebar and select All workspaces. From there, you can browse other workspaces and organize them into sections.
Fillout workspaces hold Fillout forms. They don’t have the workspace Overview, Users, or Database pages. Migrate your workspaces to move remaining apps and databases into a Zite workspace.

Use the workspace sidebar to move between areas of your system.

In the compact sidebar, open More to find Files, Code, and History. Integrations and Settings are near the bottom of the sidebar. In an app editor, Database, or Users, select Chat to open the agent beside your work. On Overview, use the chat box on the page. History doesn’t have a chat panel. Workspace editors see the Forms section below Automations when the organization has Fillout turned on. If Fillout is off, the section does not appear. It lists forms you can open that save responses to this workspace’s database, newest edit first. Sub-forms and forms in the trash are not listed. Five show at first; select Show N more to see the rest. Each form’s ••• menu has Edit form and Go to workspace. Go to workspace opens the form’s Fillout workspace, or My forms if it has none. New appears only if you can create forms. If there are no forms you can open, people who can create forms see No forms yet. Otherwise the section is hidden. Forms still live under Fillout. See Use a Fillout form with Zite.
Editors build and manage the workspace. Members and external users with access to use an app don’t automatically have editing access. See Managing users.

Find uploaded files

Only organization admins can open the workspace’s Files page. Workspace editing access or access to use an app does not grant access to this page. Open Files to browse uploads from your workspace’s database and apps. If you see the Track your file uploads heading, select Start tracking file uploads. Counting can take a few minutes, and you can leave the page. Search by filename or use Filter to narrow the list by type. Select a file to see its details and preview it when supported, or select Open to open it. To give the agent reference documents and instructions, use Context on Overview instead.

Add to your system

On Overview, select New, then choose App or Automation. The new item belongs to the current workspace.
  • Apps: Describe the task and which existing tables it should use.
  • Automations: Describe what should start the workflow and the steps it should carry out.
If you can create forms, select New in the Forms section below Automations to create a Fillout form already connected to the database. The form stays under Fillout. To share business notes, policies, or guidelines with the agent, scroll down on Overview, select the Context tab, then Add context. See Create an app and Context & Integrations for the full steps.

Find an app or table quickly

Press Command + K on Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows to open search.
  • Search this workspace: Find apps you have access to. Editors can also search for tables, people, and integrations. Table search finds tables, not individual records. Workspace search does not find Fillout forms.
  • Search across your organization: Remove the workspace-name filter in the search box.
For sections and ordering in the side menu, see Organize your workspace.
