Initial set up - how do I set up Citizen Space?

Your Citizen Space site is live and you've been set up as an initial Site Administrator by Delib. Your next steps are:

Set up Workspaces and Users

Citizen Space internal users can be assigned to one or more Workspaces. We've got information on setting up Workspaces in our article on what is a Workspace.

When you've set up relevant Workspaces, you can add users to them. You'll find information on this process in our article on adding and managing users.

Most organisations choose to have 3-4 Site Admins, and the rest of the users as Site Members. Then you can assign Workspace roles for users as either a Workspace Admin or Workspace Member, depending on their level of permission needed.

Set up Interests, Audiences and Areas (if enabled)

It's up to you whether you have Interests, Audiences and Areas enabled on your site or not. When they're enabled they act as search parameters so that anyone visiting your site can find activities which are relevant to them. If you've asked Delib to enable these, they must be assigned to all activities your organisation creates in Citizen Space. 

You'll find information on how to set up Interests, Audiences and Areas in the following three articles:

• What are Interests and how do I add them to Citizen Space?
• What are Audiences and how do I add them to Citizen Space?
• How do I set up Areas in Citizen Space?

Create your first activity

When you've set up Workspaces and users (and areas, audiences and interests, if they're enabled), you can move on to creating your first activity.
