Workspace settings¶
The settings that apply to everyone. You can find them under Settings → Organisation, Groups and Members.
Organisation¶
- Logo – JPG, PNG or GIF, up to 5 MB
- Name – appears in the top left-hand corner for all members
- Time zone – your organisation’s primary time zone
- Week starts on – Monday or Sunday; affects all calendar views, such as when selecting deadlines
- Language – the primary language in which your organisation operates
Activity hours¶
A table showing the seven days of the week: which of them are working days, and from when to when. At least one working day must be specified.
This setting has two effects:
- Notifications are only sent to members within these times. It is therefore the organisation, rather than an individual’s calendar, that determines when Rhizome sends a notification.
- Deadlines are calculated within these times. When a decision is created, it is indicated whether a deadline falls outside these times.
Example
The active hours are 8.00–18.00. You initiate a decision at 18.05 with a 24-hour deadline. The countdown begins the following morning at 8.00.
Groups¶
The overview shows all groups and project groups, whether they are standard groups and whether you are a member of them. From here, you can create new ones, edit them, archive them and reactivate them.
A group has:
- Icon – from a searchable selection across six categories
- Colour – one of eight; this identifies the group in the sidebar and on each topic page
- Name and Description – what the group is for
- Members
- Default group for new members – anyone joining the organisation automatically joins this group
A toggle switch in the group settings determines whether all members are allowed to create their own groups, or only the administrators.
!!! Note: "Archive rather than delete" An archived group disappears from the lists, but its topics are retained. It can be restored at any time.
Members¶
Invitations are sent out by email, with multiple addresses separated by commas. The pending invitations are listed below, showing the date sent, expiry date and status; you can resend them or cancel them.
Every member has a role:
| Admin | Manages the organisation, its groups and its members |
| Manager | Manages groups and members |
| Member | Works within the groups to which they belong |
Members can be deactivated rather than removed – in which case everything they have written remains attributable to them. When removing someone from a group, Rhizome ensures that the last person with the necessary authorisation does not disappear.
!!! Warning: "Delete workspace" During the beta phase, administrators cannot delete the workspace themselves. To do so, please contact support@get-rhizome.app.
