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 and flows in that application. 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 theme to a space as you do to forms. The Space theme will be propagated to forms, flows and the Task List. If you want to use a different theme for a particular form or flow, you must override it by using the URL parameter, _themeId= "Name of Theme". You can also use the composite ID form of the parameter: _themeId!userId!designer= "Name of Theme". Here is an example of a form URL with the _themeId parameter specifying the Nouveau theme :

Tip

If you add or remove applications or add or remove forms or flows from applications, and you want to update the space that contains them, a quick way to do that is to delete the old space and create a new one. You can use the same name as the original space. The new space will contain all your current applications, forms, and flows. Customizations made to the space, such as adding your logo or HTML will have to be redone. If you do not want to redo your customizations, edit the Tab menus manually as explained here.

Edit a Space

Click  to display your space in the space editor. The editor displays your space as it will appear if you share it with others. The editor also includes a Properties panel at the left of the space, a toolbar at the top with Finish and Cancel buttons, and editing tools you can use for the three panels in the body of the space, the logo area, and the application and Task List tabs.

You do not have to use Spaces to access your mobile forms but it is a convenient way to do so. Of course, you can still embed your forms and flows in your own internet.  You can add icons to your forms and flows which will display on mobile devices when you access the space. Spaces can be a valuable tool for testing your Mobile forms on the iPhone and iPad. Refer to  

Info

Selecting the Excel export feature when viewing submissions from the Shared Items tab (inside or outside of a space) on an IOS device (iPad,iPhone), may have to install an application to edit and save .xls files. This requirement is browser specific.
