Create an organization
Set up an organization on your first visit to the workspace and become its owner.
Purpose
The organization is the protected space in which your company's knowledge, questions, processes, situation reports and drafts are kept. Whoever creates it becomes its owner and can then invite the team.
How it works
- Sign in. Without an organization, the workspace shows “Welcome to Universe Memory”.
- Under “Organization name”, enter the name of your company.
- Under “Your name in the team”, enter the name colleagues will see you under.
- Click “Create organization”. The overview of the new organization opens and the features appear on the left.
- Under “Team”, create departments and invite colleagues.
What happens when it is created
- Universe Memory creates the organization and enters you as “Owner” in one step. Both succeed together or not at all.
- The creation is recorded in the organization's log.
- The new organization is remembered as the active organization for this browser.
Rules for the details
- “Organization name”: 2 to 160 characters.
- “Your name in the team”: 2 to 120 characters. Universe Memory suggests the name from your account.
If you have been invited
If you already belong to an organization through an invitation, you see its overview directly instead of the form. The “Create organization” form only appears as long as your account belongs to no organization.
Tips
Before setting one up, check whether your company already has an organization. In that case it is better to be invited, so that the knowledge is kept in one place.
Frequently asked questions
Which role do I have after creating it?
You are the “Owner” of the organization. Nobody can change this role.
