Wiki Spaces Administration
Overview
The Wiki Spaces administration page lets administrators manage the knowledge spaces available in Zymmr. Use this page to review all spaces, check ownership and visibility, create new spaces, and open existing spaces for updates.
1. How to Access Wiki Spaces
To open the Wiki Spaces administration page:
- Navigate to Global Settings.
- In the left sidebar, expand Wiki.
- Select Spaces.
The page displays the Wiki Spaces dashboard with a searchable table of spaces.
2. The Wiki Spaces Dashboard
The dashboard provides an administrator-level view of all wiki spaces in the instance.
- Search Field: Filters spaces by name, key, description, owner, or related project.
- Templates Button: Opens the Wiki Templates administration page.
- New Space Button: Starts the process of creating a new wiki space.
- Spaces Table: Lists the spaces available to the administrator.
The spaces table includes the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Space | The space icon and name. Click the space name to open or manage that space. |
| Key | A short identifier used to recognize the space and build its URL. |
| Description | A short summary of the space's purpose, if one has been added. |
| Project | The project linked to the space, if the space is project-specific. |
| Owner | The user who owns or created the space. |
| Visibility | Shows whether the space is Public or limited to a Project. |
If the list is long, use the pagination controls at the bottom of the table to move between pages.
3. Creating a New Wiki Space
Create a new space when a team, department, or project needs its own knowledge base.
- From the Wiki Spaces dashboard, click New Space.
- Enter the space details:
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Title | The display name of the space. | Yes |
| Space Key | A short uppercase key for the URL. Zymmr can generate this from the title, and you can edit it before saving. | Yes |
| Description | A short explanation of the space's purpose. | No |
| Icon | An optional emoji used in the spaces list and sidebar. If left blank, Zymmr uses the default wiki icon. | No |
| Project | Optionally link the space to a project. The project selector is searchable and can be cleared. | No |
- Save the space.
After the space is created, it appears in the spaces list and can be opened from the Space column.
Space Planning
Create separate spaces for long-lived areas of knowledge, such as departments, product areas, or projects. Use pages and child pages inside a space for individual topics.
4. Managing Existing Spaces
Administrators can use the spaces list to review and maintain existing wiki spaces.
Opening a Space
Click the space name in the Space column to open it. From there, administrators can review its pages and update space-level details if changes are needed.
Searching for a Space
Use the Search field when the instance contains many spaces. Search is useful for finding spaces by title, key, project, owner, or visibility.
Reviewing Visibility
Check the Visibility column before sharing space links:
- Public spaces are intended for general access by authenticated users.
- Project spaces are tied to a project and should be used for project-specific documentation.
