Definitions and concepts
Workspace | The main place where all of your maps and data live. |
Project | A subset of maps within the workspace. Can be public (open to all members in the workspace) or private (invite only) |
Map | A map in Felt |
Admin | Someone with full permissions in the workspace and that workspace’s projects |
Owner | Creator of a project or map in Felt. Owners have full permissions on the maps they create |
Editor | Someone with permissions to create and manage maps or data in the workspace |
Viewer | Someone who can only view the workspace, project, or map. They can leave comments on maps for free but they will not see the Felt toolbar when viewing the map. |
Guest | Someone who is not invited to the workspace or project but has been shared a map or invited to view a map. |
Recent | Lists all the maps in you have recently viewed or edited. Can be filtered down to show: maps you own (”Mine”) or maps that belong to the current workspace (”Workspace”). Viewing all maps includes public maps you have viewed. |
Drafts | Lists the maps you created in this Workspace that do not belong to any Project in the Workspace. Unique and personal to each Workspace Editor. |
Workspaces
Workspaces serve as the primary place where teams in the same organization collaborate and share maps. They host all the maps and data for your organization. Data storage and published Layers are shared across the entire Workspace. The Workspace is also the billing entity in Felt.
You can create a new Workspace and/or switch between different Workspaces you belong to by clicking on the name of the workspace in the Felt homepage and selecting
+ New workspace
Workspace Settings
Workspace Admin can manage members, data storage, subscription plans, and API tokens in the workspace settings. Because Felt bills per editor, only Admin can invite editors to the Workspace or Workspace Projects.
To access the settings: Click on the workspace → Workspace settings
Projects
Workspaces are organized into Projects, which allow you to organize your maps into different spaces within the Workspace.
By default all new Workspaces start with a
General Project. To add a new project, click + Create Project on the Felt home view of the workspace
Projects can either be Public (open to the entire Workspace) or Private (invite only), which allow for finer access control within your organization. Private projects show a lock icon next to the name. Only those invited to private Projects will see the Project listed.
