# Workspace configuration

As a workspace administrator, you can customize how your workspace looks and behaves - from the apps visible in the sidebar to how lists are organized and navigated.

## Apps and navigation[​](#apps-and-navigation "Direct link to Apps and navigation")

### App shortcuts[​](#app-shortcuts "Direct link to App shortcuts")

The sidebar displays app shortcuts for quick access. You can configure:

* **Which apps appear** in the sidebar (up to a configurable limit)
* **Overflow menu** - additional apps accessible via a "more apps" button
* **App grid** - a 4-column grid view of all installed apps, filterable by name or alias

### Drawer behavior[​](#drawer-behavior "Direct link to Drawer behavior")

The sidebar drawer has four states:

1. **Open** - full sidebar visible with app list and list tree
2. **Closed** - sidebar collapsed, content area expanded
3. **Pinned** - sidebar stays open and does not auto-collapse
4. **Hidden** - sidebar completely hidden

On mobile and tablet devices, the drawer supports swipe gestures to open and close.

### Custom tabs[​](#custom-tabs "Direct link to Custom tabs")

Add custom tabs to workspace navigation for quick access to frequently used views or external resources.

Custom tabs support both internal views and external URLs.

### Breadcrumb navigation[​](#breadcrumb-navigation "Direct link to Breadcrumb navigation")

The breadcrumb bar shows the current navigation path:

**Workspace > App > List > Record**

Breadcrumbs also appear in modal record forms (popovers) to maintain navigation context.

## List organization[​](#list-organization "Direct link to List organization")

### List folders[​](#list-folders "Direct link to List folders")

Organize saved lists into hierarchical folders:

1. Open the **Setup** area (admin access required)
2. Navigate to list management
3. Create folders and drag lists into them

Folder features:

* **Collapsible** - users can expand/collapse folders; the state persists across sessions and syncs between tabs
* **Always expanded** - mark folders as non-collapsible for important lists
* **Auto-generated lists** - lists created automatically from group lookup fields appear in their own section
* **Record counts** - each list shows total and unread counts with human-readable formatting (1K+, 1M+)

### Private vs shared lists[​](#private-vs-shared-lists "Direct link to Private vs shared lists")

* **Shared lists** - visible to all workspace members, managed by admins
* **Private lists** - visible only to the user who created them

## Branding[​](#branding "Direct link to Branding")

### Company logo[​](#company-logo "Direct link to Company logo")

Display your company logo in the sidebar drawer. The logo appears above the app list.

### Browser tab title[​](#browser-tab-title "Direct link to Browser tab title")

The browser tab title automatically shows the current list name, helping users identify tabs when multiple workspaces are open.

## Home page[​](#home-page "Direct link to Home page")

Configure the workspace home page:

* Set a custom home page URL to redirect users to a specific list or dashboard when they enter the workspace
* The default home page shows the app grid

## Feature flags[​](#feature-flags "Direct link to Feature flags")

Enable or disable specific platform features per workspace:

## Setup area[​](#setup-area "Direct link to Setup area")

The Setup area is accessible only to workspace administrators. It provides access to:

* List folder management

* Feature flags

* Shell customization configuration (editor with real fields)

* ACL-based permissions for:

  <!-- -->

  * **Create new** - who can create records in each app
  * **List management** - who can save and modify shared lists

## Notification configuration[​](#notification-configuration "Direct link to Notification configuration")

Control how notifications behave for apps in your workspace.

### Default notification groups[​](#default-notification-groups "Direct link to Default notification groups")

Apps can be configured to automatically notify specific groups when records are created or updated. For example, a Tickets app might notify all members of the "Support team" group when a new ticket is created.

Default notification groups are configured per app through the app's notification settings.

### Minor change flag[​](#minor-change-flag "Direct link to Minor change flag")

When editing a record, users can check the **"Do not notify followers"** option (also called "minor change"). This suppresses notification emails for that particular change. This is useful for:

* Bulk administrative edits (e.g., fixing typos, updating permissions)
* Changes that do not require team attention
* Edits to records with sensitive content that should not be broadcast

### Notification suppression[​](#notification-suppression "Direct link to Notification suppression")

Users can suppress notifications at three levels:

* **Record level** - stop receiving notifications for a specific record
* **App level** - stop receiving notifications for an entire app
* **Workspace level** - stop receiving all notifications from the workspace

These preferences are set by individual users through their notification settings. Admins cannot override individual suppression preferences but should be aware they exist when troubleshooting "missing notification" reports. For more on how notifications work from the user's side, see [Notifications](/user-guide/common-features/notifications.md).

### Notification delivery log[​](#notification-delivery-log "Direct link to Notification delivery log")

The system maintains a log of sent notifications. Admins can review this log to verify whether notifications were sent, when, and to whom. This is useful for troubleshooting delivery issues. See the [troubleshooting guide](/admin-guide/troubleshooting/email-and-notifications.md) for common notification problems.
