Workspace

Overview​

Votars' team management feature allows you to efficiently organize and manage your team members. By setting up a Workspace, team members can share files and collaborate seamlessly. When more than one member is included in a Workspace, a subscription to the Business or Enterprise version is required, and the billing is handled by the Workspace owner.

Key Features​

Workspace Structure​

  • Workspace: A top-level structure that includes multiple members. All members within a Workspace can share files and collaborate.

Adding Members​

  • In the Workspace settings, select "Add Members."
  • Enter the email address of the member you wish to invite.
  • Send the invitation. Once accepted, the member will be added to the Workspace.
  • Note: A subscription to the Business or Enterprise version is needed when including more than one member in a Workspace.

Removing Members​

  • In the Workspace member list, locate the member you want to remove.
  • Click the remove option next to the member.
  • Confirm the removal. The member will no longer have access to the Workspace's files and projects.

Permission Management​

  • Member Roles:
    • Assign roles to members (e.g., Admin, Member).
    • Admins have the ability to add/remove members and set permissions.
    • Members can access and edit shared files but cannot manage team configurations.
  • File Permissions:
    • Set file access permissions (view, edit, download, full access) for different members.
    • Permissions can be set at the file or folder level to ensure security and collaboration efficiency.

Subscription and Billing​

  • Subscription Plans:

    • A subscription to the Business or Enterprise version is required when more than one member is included in a Workspace.
    • Business Version: Designed for small to medium-sized teams, providing basic sharing and collaboration features.
    • Enterprise Version: Designed for large enterprises, offering advanced features and support.

  • Billing:

    • Billing is managed by the Workspace owner.
    • Invoices are generated at the end of each monthly billing cycle, covering the subscription fees for that month.
    • Billing and payment options can be viewed and managed in the Workspace settings.

Business Version​

  • Seat Addition/Removal Billing Rules:

    • Adding or removing members within a month won't trigger an immediate charge.
    • Next month's invoice will include fees for any seats added during the current month.
    • The additional fee is calculated as: Actual peak number of seats during the month minus the pre-paid number of seats.

Enterprise Version​

  • Postpaid:

    • Charges are based on actual usage at the end of each month.
    • For seats that were not occupied for a full month (whether added or removed), charges are calculated based on the actual number of days the account was active.

File Sharing and Collaboration​

  • Shared Files:
    • Members within the same Workspace can view and edit shared files and folders.
    • Real-time collaboration is supported, allowing team members to edit files simultaneously.
  • Comments and Discussions:
    • Files support comments and discussions, enabling team members to leave remarks or discuss with others.
