Space configuration
As a space manager, you have access to various settings that allow you to customize your space's appearance, security, and integrations with other tools. Navigate to the Admin page on the top of your space to find these settings.
General settings
The General settings page allows you to customize the basic information and appearance of your space.
Space name
Your space name is the primary identifier for your community. It appears in the navigation bar, emails, and other communications.
Space description
The space description provides additional context about your community's purpose and activities. This description appears in various places throughout the platform and helps new members understand what your space is about.
Best Practices:
- Keep your description concise but informative.
- Clearly state the purpose and value of your space.
- Include any important guidelines or expectations for members. The deployments team will assist you here!
- Update periodically to reflect any changes in your focus.
Space logo
Your space logo is displayed in the navigation bar, emails, and other places throughout the platform. It's an important visual identifier for your space.
Best Practices:
- Use a high-resolution image (recommended size: 400x400 pixels).
- Choose a simple design that's recognizable even at small sizes.
- Ensure the logo has a transparent background if possible.
- Test how it looks in both light and dark contexts.
Cover photo
The cover photo appears at the top of your space's about page.
Best Practices:
- Use a high-quality, horizontal image (recommended size: 1200x400 pixels).
- Choose an image that represents your space's purpose or values.
- Avoid images with small text that might be hard to read.
Invite link
The invite link allows you to easily share access to your space with new members. Anyone with this link can request to join your space.
Best Practices:
- Share the invite link only with people you want to join your space.
Security settings
The Security settings page allows you to configure security options for your space, including authentication requirements and visibility controls.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring members to verify their identity using a second factor—typically a code sent to their mobile device—when logging in. Please discuss with the Roundtable team if you would like to enable this feature!
Space visibility
Space visibility settings determine who can view your space and its content. If you're considering making your space "Open", please consult with the Roundtable team.
Best Practices:
- Choose "Open" if you want your space to be discoverable by anyone within a specific field of work.
- Choose "Closed" if you prefer to restrict access to invited members only.
- Take into account your community’s privacy needs and the sensitivity of conversations.
- Ensure your visibility settings align with your community’s goals and overall purpose.
Integrations settings
The Integrations settings page allows you to connect your space with external tools and services.
Reply-to-email
If the Reply-to Email setting is turned on, members can respond directly to notifications via email, and their replies will automatically appear as comments in Roundtable.
Email forwarding
Email Forwarding allows users to forward emails to this address to create posts within your space.
External website search
External search integration allows your space's content to be indexed by search engines, making it discoverable to people outside your community.
To add external websites please reach out to the Roundtable team.
