What is a Workspace in Allstacks?
A Workspace in Allstacks is a flexible concept that can represent individual scrum/agile team, a division or business unit, or the entire engineering organization.
Setting Up and Managing Your Workspaces
Workspaces create the intersection of tools and Users (data contributors) that you want to report on. To view your existing Workspaces or create a new Workspace, read on.
New Workspace Category:
Will allow you to create a new category to direct Workspaces into. Note that this is strictly for organizational purposes and is no used in metric generation or grouping. Use the “Edit Category” selection, pictured above, to move a Workspace into a category.
New Workspace:
This selection will prompt you to name your Workspace, and will direct you to the Tools page in the next section.
Tools and Resources
Connecting and Disconnecting:
To include or remove services from a Workspace, click “Connect” or “Disconnect” in the left-most column of the table below. Once a service is connected, you can further filter down to a subset of the service by selecting “Configure Resources”
Settings to be aware of:
The toggle next to the enabled count will disable all children within a grouping. It needs to be enabled for any of the enabled children to be displayed in your.
Automatically enable new projects (repos, etc): When you create new projects or repositories in your source tools, Allstacks will download and process data from them automatically.
Note: If a project or repository is missing from your service at the Workspace-level, confirm it is connected at the organization-level.
Contributors: Roster Management and Tags
Via Tags:
Users can set a tag to represent a team’s roster. First, click “Configure” on the left hand side navigation and click “Contributors.” Then select “Enable Contributors by Tag”, select the name of the tag, and the users will automatically populate. To update the roster within the tag, navigate to “Contributors” in the top right of the screen navigation menu to update at the organizational level. For more information on Contributor and Tag management, read this article… Contributor & Tag Management

Via Traditional Roster Management:
Workspace Management determines how metrics are filtered to Users by default. Enable your Workspace members by selecting the toggle in the status column, or select multiple via the checkboxes in the left-most column.
Note: If an User is missing from the list of available Users, confirm they are enabled at the organization-level.
Now that your Workspace has the correct roster and tools connected, click one of the links below to learn how to use your data.
