A space is a web site that organizes and displays applications, forms, workflows, tasks, etc. A space has a tab for each application, and each tab has a drop-down list of the deployed forms/flows in that application. Forms/flows with a visibility of public in tenant or private appear when the user logs into . When you click on a form or flow name, the space opens the form in the page. A space also has a home panel and two optional panels at the left and at the bottom of its page. You can edit the content of any of these panels; you can also choose not to include the optional panels. You can apply a style to a space as you do to forms/flows. The selected style will be propagated to forms, flows and the Task List.

If you share a space, you are essentially creating a website — anyone who has the URL can view the space. Whether or not someone can actually open a form or flow and use it depends on the Visibility property of the form. A form or flow must be Public for anyone to use it. An outside user will be blocked if he attempts to open a non-public form, and may even lose his session credentials with the space. Forms/flows must be deployed to production for them to automatically appear in an application tab menu. If the visibility of a form is restricted to a specific role via the ACL feature, the form/flow will not appear on the space menu unless the logged in user has been assigned that role or they are the designer.

Notice the First and Last Names of the logged in user appear in the upper right corner.

Create a New Space

When you create a space,  creates a tab on the space for each of your applications — and also adds Task List, My Account, Shared Items, Home and Login/logout tabs. Refer to the Space Content topic. The application tabs display a list all of all deployed forms/flows in that application; undeployed forms and flows are not included. For testing purposes, forms/flows with a visibility setting of private are added to the space menu if the user is logged in as a designer. A form/flow with a visibility set to public in tenant, cannot be accessed unless the user logs in to the  tenant. If the visibility of a form/flow is restricted to a specific role via the ACL feature, the form/flow and it's associated tab will not appear on the space menu unless the logged in user has been assigned that role or they are the designer. If an application has no forms/flows,  doesn't create a tab for it.
