Creating Workspaces

This guide covers creating workspaces in YAPL. Most users create their workspace during the registration process, but you can create additional workspaces for separate organizations or projects.

When to Create a New Workspace

Create a new workspace when you need:

• Separate Organizations - Different companies or business units
• Isolated Projects - Complete separation of project data
• Different Teams - Non-overlapping team structures
• Separate Billing - Independent subscription management

Creating Your First Workspace

Your first workspace is created during registration:

Step 1: Complete Registration

After verifying your email, you'll be guided through onboarding.

Step 2: Workspace Information

Enter the required details:

Step 3: Company Details (Optional)

Choose organization type:

Individual Account:

• Full Name
• Tax ID / National ID
• Billing Address

Company Account:

• Company Name
• Tax ID
• Tax Office
• Legal Address
• Billing Address

Step 4: Complete Setup

Click Complete Setup to create your workspace. You'll be redirected to your dashboard.

Creating Additional Workspaces

From the Workspace Switcher

1. Click your workspace name in the sidebar (top-left)
2. Click Create New Workspace at the bottom of the dropdown
3. Follow the creation wizard

Workspace Creation Form

When creating a workspace, you'll configure:

Basic Information

Regional Settings

Project Numbering

Configure how project codes are auto-generated:

Example: PROJ-25-001 or ACME-2025-0001

Workspace URL (Slug)

The workspace URL (slug) is:

• Automatically generated from workspace name
• Unique across all YAPL workspaces
• Lowercase with hyphens replacing spaces
• 3-50 characters long

You can customize the slug during creation or change it later in workspace settings. Note that changing the URL will affect any existing direct links and integrations.

After Creation

Once created, your new workspace:

1. Starts with a trial (if first workspace) or inherits your subscription
2. Has you as the sole owner initially
3. Contains no teams (except the system Workspace Owners team)
4. Has no projects until you create them

Initial Configuration Checklist

After creating a workspace:

• Add company information
• Configure regional settings
• Set up project numbering
• Create teams
• Invite team members
• Create first project

Workspace Limits

Subscription tiers limit workspace capabilities:
